| Eight Miles High - Great!
This album is just absolutely great! It showcases a 19 minute version of the cover song & it is just superb! One of the best albums is their catalogue........

| Great Bass playing
Rinus is one of a very few bassists who play along with the lead guitar for the most part and not the drums. Great Bass solo on eight miles high on side two.

| Undeviating psychedelic rock
The second Golden Earring album of 1969 is the complete opposite of its predecessor. ‘Eight Miles High’ gets in a groove and stays there, culminating in a 19 minute long version of the title track that occupied all of the second side of the LP release. The standout track is ‘Everyday’s Torture’ which is a classic rock powered plaintive Earring melody. Two albums, one of them a double LP, might seem like a lot of output in one year but in fact this CD contains only three all new original songs. ‘Song for a Devils Servant’ is a longer reworking of the ‘Songs on a Devils Servant’ found in ‘On the Double’. That said this is something else The band are at a halfway house between The Golden Earrings and Golden Earring calling themselves The Golden Earring. Also of note is the one off drummer Sieb Warner, who does a good job bashing the skins. He was never heard from again after this, I think retiring from music altogether after a US tour. As became a bit of a hallmark for Golden Earring, this album a) was delivered just as the particular rock music strand it epitomises became a bit jaded, and b) shows everyone exactly how to do it properly. Of course sixties Psyche-rock boiled over into the monstrosities of seventies Prog-rock shortly after this record and it is difficult not to see this album in that light. But listen again and you’ll hear the sense of enjoyment that bubbles underneath and realise this is another superb quality Golden Earring album. Probably the definitive sixties psyche-throb-adelic rock album. And the cover picture is fantastic. This release is a typical Red Bullet re-master. It sounds great but the packaging is minimal. In this case you do get a version of the artwork included in the LP (various shots of the band in the studio and at work) but lyric sheets are missing.
