Q. Max Brand: Hi Paul did Mink Deville opened for the Stones?
A. Paul James: The Stones wanted Mink DeVille to open for them in Paris. Believe it or not, they turned it down because Mink DeVille was very popular in Paris and preferred to do their own show and not open there. We played the Olympia a famous Opera House in Paris for three sold out shows... In Hanover Germany, Toots (Willy's first wife) & Willy DeVille took me with them to hang with The Rolling Stones after our show there. We met them all and ended up partying in Keith Richard room till 10am the next morning!

Collecting things... from the DeVille vaults!
Were you also a fan who collected all kinds of stuff from your favorite band Mink DeVille?
Not only vinyl (singles/lp's) or celluloid (tapes) but also everything of Mink (Willy) DeVille on paper. Like newspaper clippings, promotional photographs, magazines, concert tickets and posters... Especially stuff from the early years 1976-1982 is now rare and very valuable. Collectors pay quite a lot at ebay and internet stores. Or rather, sellers asking quite a lot! (up to 75 dollars for a rare poster). A small selection from the internet collection in a brief photo gallery (most pieces are privately owned).
First some concert posters from the seventies including an original silk screened 100cm x 75cm gig poster from Thursday 22nd June 1978 for 'Hammersmith Odeon', London.
And a Paradiso Amsterdam (The Netherlands) concert poster designed by the late Martin Kaye in 1977. Also posters from Germany, Sweden and the USA.
A wonderful collection of concert posters of various artists from 1975 till 1982 is also shown at the Punk Poster Page
Concertposters and promo-sets
More concertposters
Advertisements and newspaper clippings - One of the ads says: "It's the first album by a New York new-wave band to do justice to the ethnic vitality of the city..."
Concert tickets and Willy signatures
Rolled (movie/dvd) posters and (framed) picture posters
Magazines - English, German, Italian, Dutch and from the USA.

Art on Willy DeVille
And we do not mean the well-intentioned photo editing, wallpapers and CD/DVD cover artwork which are circulated on the internet. But work with total commitment by using brush, pen, pencils or other tools by (semi)professionals and amateur artists. Also some of the many concert posters made over the years are very interesting and sometimes unique! Especially when it comes to work of Martin Kaye who designed all posters between 1972 and 1983 for 'the hottest place in town' Paradiso Amsterdam (Holland). Whether the concert posters of Leviathan, also true works of art. And the Montreux Jazz Festival poster or the Pinkpop poster, both from 1982 are also notable. The original "New York Rock" poster from the seventies, which also stated Mink DeVille is now a collectors item.
Professional artists such as Alfons Kiefer, Laurent Lejeune, Detlev Fothen and Herman Brood portrayed Willy in a wonderful way. And more commercial work such as from Sean Connolly.
Special versions such as a watercolor painting by Tomás Méndez, acrylic on vinyl (LP) by Don 'Crow Face' Harmens or graffiti on a fence by a huge fan and black & white acrylics on gray leather by Elena Rockinger.
For cartoonists and caricature artists such as Maëster, Pal Degome, Nalair, Emily Anthony and Guru Cyril Willy was a willing subject too.
Furthermore, many amateur works that often are very nice too including: JK.Zeewolde, Atelier72b, Mike Jones, Minke, Gillespy or Annette Kunów.
Or art dedicated to Willy DeVille or as a tribute to his music, whether or not after his death for example by Walter Vermeulen (old76suezq) Darryl & Susan Roth, Herman Schouwenburg and Jendrix56.
If you have any suggestions or comments you can respond with a comment.
