Review by Liz Zimmermann

The album Battle Of The Shocking Blue Golden Earring by Shocking Blue and Golden Earring is a true masterpiece that showcases the talents of two legendary Dutch bands. The album features some of the most iconic songs of the late 60s and early 70s, including "Venus", "Radar Love", and "Mighty Joe". The collaboration between the two bands is seamless, with each contributing their unique sound to create a cohesive and unforgettable listening experience.

The album opens with "Venus", a song that needs no introduction. The catchy guitar riff and Mariska Veres' haunting vocals make this track an instant classic. "Radar Love" follows, with its driving beat and memorable chorus. The album also includes some lesser-known tracks, such as "Send Me a Postcard" and "Candy's Going Bad", which are equally impressive.

The production on the album is top-notch, with each instrument and vocal perfectly balanced. The guitar work of George Kooymans and Robbie van Leeuwen is particularly impressive, adding layers of texture and depth to each song. The drums and bass provide a solid foundation, while Veres' vocals soar above it all.
