Golden Earring ‎– Contraband. Label: Red Bullet ‎– RB 6. 09. Series: Golden Earring The Red Bullet Years –. Format: CD, Album, Reissue. Country: Netherlands. Producer – Golden Earring, John Kriek. Producer, Mixed By – Damon Lyon-Shaw. Tape Op – Steve James.

Golden Earring replaced keyboardist Robert Jan Stips with guitarist Eelco Gelling and put aside its art rock pretensions for a hard rock sound dominated by the group's new twin-guitar attack. The result was Contraband, the band's strongest album since Moontan. It starts powerfully with "Bombay," an exuberant blast whose elaborate arrangement works in plenty of atmospheric country-styled shadings into an otherwise hard rock track.
