I just discovered one of my "Desert Island" (link below) albums, Moontan, by the Dutch rock band, Golden Earring, was reissued for the first time on CD this month on the 10th of September.        

An expanded two CD edition of the 1973 classic Golden Earring album, featuring the worldwide hit Radar Love, has been remastered from the first-generation master tapes, featuring 9 previously unreleased mixes and different versions. It has 6 bonus tracks, including Big Tree, Blue Sea (1973 version) and Instant Poetry. It also includes a 32-page booklet with an essay, memorabilia, and photos. 

The Dutch Government used a detail from the album cover photo, which featured nude model Jilly Johnson, on one of their postage stamps.
