So, So Sad  :(     Another great rock musician is taken from us. 

"Radar Love" was on auto replay on my turntable for so long when it first came out, that my mother threatened to throw the player over our back fence if I didn't turn it off.  Of the joys of teenage hood

For those of you who would like a copy of their Moontan LP, I have reposted it on my blog today as a tribute - including the 2CD Deluxe Remastered Edition (but for a short time only).   See https://rockonvinyl.blogspot.com/2022/03/golden-earring-moontan-1973-plus-bonus.html (https://rockonvinyl.blogspot.com/2022/03/golden-earring-moontan-1973-plus-bonus.html)

RIP George Kooymans
