	Coup De Grace New - LP - SD 19311 Sealed 1981 Original Featuring Production By Jack Nitzsche. Tiny Saw Cut. “While Willy Deville Was Trying To Perfect His Blend Of Roots Rock, Fiery Punk Energy, And The Heart-Rending Ballad Style That Established Vocalists Such As Ben E. King And Clyde McPhatter, He Went Through A Few Changes. Mink Deville's Previous Recording, Le Chat Bleu, Had Opened The Door To Deville Being As Fine A Ballad Singer As Any. Along With The Doc Pomus Ballads There Were A Few Rockers, And The Seeds Were Sewn For The Band To Pursue This Direction, With Willy Deville Stepping More And More Out Front As An Enigma. The Combination Of Deville And Jack Nitzsche Brought The Early Rock And Soul Vibe Deep Into The Heart Of Coup De Grace. Louis Cortelezzi And Kenny Margolis Provided The Sound Of The Jersey Shore And Coney Island On Saxophone, Keyboard And Accordion And Swirled Around Deville's And Rick Borgia's Guitars, Undercut By Tommy Price's Drums. The Band's Sound Combined With Nitzsche's Timeless Production Style Thatr, Combined With His Singing Voice, Created A Rock & Roll Purer Than Even Bruce Springsteen's In 1981. The Evidence Is On The Anthems "Maybe Tomorrow," The Slippery Doo Wop Feel Of "Love & Emotion," And The Devastating Read Of Arthur Alexander's "You Better Move On" That Includes In Its Soulful Spanish Stroll Mix A Pair Of Marimbas And The Ever-Lamenting Accordion, That Turns The Track Into Something That Is So Deadly Serious It Could Have Been In West Side Story. This Was Mink Deville Near Their Zenith As A Recording Unit.” Thom Jurek, AMG. more

	Return To Magenta New - LP - SW 11780 Sealed 1978 Original. Clean Cut Out Hole. “The Follow-Up To Mink Deville's Critically Praised Debut Arrived Just A Year Afterward And Pretty Much Covers The Same Shadowy Back Alleys As Its Predecessor. At This Early Stage, Willy Deville Was Still Rocking Out On Moon Martin's "Rolene," His Own R&B Chugger "Soul Twist," The Bo Diddley Driven "Steady Drivin' Man" And The Too Brief Set Closer "Confidence To Kill," The Latter Ripping Off As Much Greasy Punk Attitude As Anything In His Catalog, All In Less Than Two Minutes. But It's The Soaring Ballads And Retro Doo-Wop Infused Urban Slow Dance Gems That Make This Sleeper A Keeper. It Takes Nerve To Open An Album With The Ominous Heartbeat Of "Guardian Angel" With Its Righteous Brothers Vibe Enhanced By Strings And A Brooding Phil Spector "Be My Baby" Dramatic, Thumping Drum Pattern. Yet It Perfectly Foreshadows And Adjusts The Lights For Willy And The Boys' N.Y.C./New Jersey Street Savvy Pop/Rock. Producer Jack Nitzsche, Returning From The First Album, Was The Perfect Foil For The Band, Keeping The Sound Lean, Mean, Raw When Necessary, And Colored In Shades Of Well, Magenta. The Legendary Doc Pomus, A Guy Who Knew How Important It Was To Match A Good Tune With A Great Singer, Writes Short But Sweet Liner Notes That Anticipate His Co-Writing Contributions To The Following Album, 1980's Le Chat Bleu. Frontman Deville Is A Natural Singer As Adept At Grinding Out The Rockers As Delving Into The Emotionally Burning Slow Songs Such As "I Broke That Promise" That Would Ultimately Define His Persona. He's Clearly A Man Out Of Time, More Comfortable With The '50s Than The Decades After, But Never Self-Consciously Retro. The Album's Only Nitzsche Co-Write Is "Just Your Friends." It's A Churning, Charming Inner City Lament With A Cascading Melody That Makes It A Lost Gem; One Of Those Hidden Tracks That Never Makes It On A Greatest-Hits Collection But Helps Define This Set.” Hal Horowitz, AMG. more
