This 8 track info is not complete yet. I'm working on transfering all the information I gathered over the years and which were compiled in the Golden Earring Record Research Report. The last print (V4) dates from way back 1998 and is of course outdated now. Many information was published over the years in the Golden Earring fanclub magazines. Especially by fellow collector Edwin Knip whom I exchanged many information with in the past. Several of the pictures above are taken from his Golden Earring collection website. His collection is far more larger than mine and all fans benefit from this source of information. Thank you Edwin Knip. Many others pictures were found on line at Ebay auctions for example. Also some pictures were sent by international fans around the world. If you have additional pictures or better scans your help is much appreciated. Please send your information by email.
