Moontan is the ninth album by Dutch rock band Golden Earring, released in 1973. It contains the radio hit "Radar Love", and was voted 9th best Dutch pop album ever by readers of music magazine Oor in 2008. Moontan is the band's most successful album in the United States, being the only Golden Earring album to be certified Gold by the RIAA.
In June 2020, the original mastertapes of this classic album were unearthed for a long-awaited remastered edition - 48 years after it's original release. The second CD entitled The Moontan Sessions features nine previously unreleased mixes/different versions that give insight into the whole production process of the album. Taken from a variety of archive tapes, these include the original basic recordings of 'Radar Love', 'The Song Is Over', 'Are You Receiving Me' and 'Vanilla Queen', taped in early 1973 at Phonogram Studios in Hilversum (The Netherlands), which were overdubbed and finished at London's IBC Studios in July 1973.
