First time I've ever heard of them let alone listened to them. Methinks they must have have been influenced by Lou Reed and Velvet Underground ?
Just looked up the Wiki entry (link below) on Mink DeVille and in the section "The Capitol years" there's a reference to Velvet Underground. The timing's seems right, which does suggest possible influence ? Never got wind of them in the late 70's over here. Anyway - thanks for posting their tune - I'll check out more of their recordings. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mink_DeVille
you're welcome. thinking about it, i can't bring any of their other stuff to mind. it was a while back though! that one was a 45 i considered and never got round to buying, but should have done.
