Switch is the tenth studio album by Dutch rock band Golden Earring, released in 1975 as the follow-up of the band's international breakthrough album Moontan with their bona fide classic track "Radar Love." Both American music magazine Billboard and UK music magazine Sounds appointed the band in 1974 as one of the most promising new bands.

But Switch marked a switch for Golden Earring, as it was more influenced by funk and prog than any of the band's previous or subsequent releases. Lead single "Kill Me (Ce Soir)" perfectly demonstrates how Golden Earring experimented with a new sound.

Golden Earring archivist Wouter Bessels catalogued and listened through all work tapes from the Switch sessions and found a previously unreleased track: "Action Alice & Bow-Tie Basil." Recorded during the Switch sessions, this marks the first time that the band has approved a previously unreleased finished studio track for release.

LP2 of this expanded 50th anniversary release of Switch offers the cream of the crop from the session tapes, augmented by 7-inch single versions of "Kill Me (Ce Soir)" and "The Switch," as well as the B-side of "Kill Me (Ce Soir)": "Lucky Number." All tracks have been 24 bit/192 kHz remastered from the original master tapes.
