3.0 out of 5 stars Abridged version of the 4-disc box set, January 28, 2001

Made in GER in 2000, Serial# 549-154-2, Playing Time: 155 min.

This 2-disc set is perhaps intended at presenting a "best of" of the 4-disc "Best Of" of the same name; but which tracks to include when a band has released 29 albums (33 discs) in 35 years? Certainly not by making half the material included here from the first 10! I would suggest you take a few minutes and go read the reviews of the full-length 4-disc version of this album.

This 2-disc version contains 39 tracks, more specifically tracks 1 to 22 (16 and 21 are shorter),24,26-29,32-35,38,41-43,49,53-55 from the box set; we're getting all tracks from disc 1 (the first 10 years), about half of each of disc 2 and 3 (the next 25 years) but missing out on anything from disc 4 (rare tracks,solo material, unreleased material).

If you're seriously interested in this group, get the "real mccoy": go for the 4-disc version, crammed with over 5 hours of great stuff from this Dutch band. Just say I made you do it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Overview for the Casual Fan, September 12, 2004

This review is from: Devil Made Us Do It (Audio CD)

Growing up in Belgium in the seventies, I can't remember that the Dutch band Golden Earring was ever NOT big. That was 30 years ago! I left Belgium in the early 80s, and admittedly I've lost track somewhat of Golden Earring since then. When I saw this collection during a recent visit to Belgium, I looked at the tracklisting, and immediately knew this would be perfect for me.

"The Devil Made Us Do It: Golden Earring 35 Years" (39 tracks, 155 min.) is thankfully presented in chronological order. CD1 cover 1965-1975, and is by far the most interesting. From the very first single "Please Go" one can follow the evolution of Dutch pop/rock in the 60s, just fascinating. The band really starts to hit all cylinders on the hard-charging "Back Home" (from 1970) and "Buddy Joe" (from 1972), both big hits. The monster hit "Radar Love" is of course on here. CD2 covers 1976-2000, and contains big hits like "Bombay" and "Sleepwalking". As mentioned already, I lost track of the band in the mid 80s, after their last big international hit "Twilight Zone". But the band has continued to churn out hit after hit (and album after album) in their home market (Netherlands and surrounding areas).

This collection is highly recommended for the casual fan who just wants all the hits and best known tracks in one convenient place. As noted elsewhere, there is also a 4 CD box, issued at the same time as this collection, and (confusingly) also named "The Devil Made Us Do It", which contains much more.
