Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us. Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over +22,000 positive feedback. We use an ultrasonic KLAudio machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

Flamboyant early 70's American rock & roll guitarist/vocalist journeyman Alan Merrill had an infectious charisma and with it made a career of unique choices, no better than his Japanese early 70's LP with the legendary "Vodka Collins" - which ranks as one of the most bizarre yet engaging unknown albums until recent reissued 40 years later after its 1973 original release.
A dynamic group sound as if to imagine a superstar trio consisting of (1973 era) David Bowie/Marc Bolan ...and Alan Merrill.
VODKA COLLINS issued 1973 (only) in Japan, light-years before someone's light-bulb idea to reissue this obvious mass-appeal recording -- having previously been available and risen to heights of $500++ value for the '73 original lavish gatefold + lyrics on the "Express" label Japan release. Listed here as a white label promo + double-sided lyrics insert.
VODKA COLLINS (LP) consisting of Alan Merrill and Japan-born Hiroshi Oguchi and Take Yokouchi, were a TRIO mix of cultures coming together for one common goal: incredibly-infectious/catchy power-rock with dynamics straight from the '73 era's glam-rock giants David Bowie (Spiders From Mars) and Marc Bolan (T-Rex).
Essential for anyone enjoying "Ziggy Stardust"/David Bowie "Electric Warrior"/Marc Bolan and the flashes of 1973 era Mott The Hoople, Silverhead AND the Rolling Stones
Alan Merrill's smooth & flash vocals lays-out his distinctive stamp on the self composed material with obvious enthusiasm, making this LP quite a treat for fans of obscure gems and it would be hard to think of any albums - as catchy.
=> USA record representatives, oops, yet another miss - as several of the tracks on this LP were released in Japan as top charting 45's.
