Vroeger of Later is the influential 1974 Dutch-language album by singer-songwriter Robert Long, released on the Imperial label through Bovema in the Netherlands.
The album represents an important moment in Dutch popular music and helped establish Robert Long as one of the country's most distinctive singer-songwriters.
