Simply Amazing
If you only listen to that CD or just know Radar Love or Twilight Zone, then you would never know that this amazing music exists. So I started out with Golden Earring's "The Devil Made Me Do It", an extensive collection of some of their greatest hits. Its experimental to say the least. The instrumentals are by far the highlight of this CD. There is extensive soloing on their cover of the Byrd's "Eight Miles High". The best songs on the CD are Eight Miles High, Everyday's Torture, and Song of the Devil Serpant. If you want to hear some of the best instrumental stuff out there, then I recommomend this CD.


Evolving into Rock Stratos but not quite yet
So, I have to agree that it is for completionists and the very curious. I wanted very badly to like this disc but alas after 6 months
I have to say that it is difficult to listen to with one exception which is 'One Huge Road'. The 'Golden Earring' disc is a much more satisfying place to start for me although historically eight miles high did bring them much notoriety. The song Eight Miles High is like a great garage band going on too long for my taste.


Classic Late 60's Psychedelia
Kick back, put on the headphones, fast forward to 8 Miles High, and Enjoy!. The 19 minute version of 8 Miles High is worth the price of the album alone! The rest of the album is all right, but sounds a bit dated.


Pleasantly surprised
Besides the almost twenty minute long cover of The Byrd's Eight Miles High, "Landing" and "One Huge Road are great songs with some nice rocking out on the guitar, and "My Everyday's Torture" is slower and moody, but still good. I must say that I was pleasantly surprised with this album. "Song Of A Devil's Servant" is the low point of the album. This album has a more basic "American" feel to it. Too bad there's only a few songs, since "Eight Miles High" took up so much space. .


earring gets started!!
best songs are "everyday's torture","one huge road" and "landing". as far as i'm concerned,this was the beginning of the majesty of golden earring,and not a bad start at that!!. they are uriah heep-ish and i can see where the heep comparisons started at,on this album only in my opinion. they would branch out by next album (my personal favorite)called "golden earring" and subsequent albums would get better and better until a grinding halt on "no promises,no debts"(one of the worst albums i've ever heard).
