Alan Vega – Collision Drive (Vinyl LP | DE Original | 1981)

Alan Vega – Collision Drive is the Suicide singer’s second solo album from 1981, recorded at Skyline Studios in New York. Instead of electronic minimalism you get raw rockabilly and rock’n’roll with Vega’s confrontational street attitude – including a version of “Be Bop A Lula”, plus “Magdalena 82” and “Ghost Rider”.

On offer is the German original pressing from 1981 on Celluloid (204 294).
