1984 Golden Earring roar back

Life - and music -seemed to have moved on a long way since Golden Earring had a share of my listening time. Yet suddenly, from nowhere they were back with a powerful album, the old themes of fast cars and treacherous women now augmented by a richer stadium sound, doubtless influenced by their US success. It was a lesson that these guys at least were not going to be just distant memories in my musical life. "Twilight Zone" was their "Radar Love" for the 80's, another perfect vehicle for one of the best rock rhythm sections in the business. The follow up album "News" in 1984 was not quite as strong as Cut, but included another timeless single "When the Lady Smiles"
