"Collected" is a compilation of Willy DeVille's time as the charismatic frontman of Mink DeVille and his later solo work. Featuring "Spanish Stroll", "Demasiado Corazon" & "Hey Joe", this 2LP set includes an insert with notes from former band members and DeVille's inner circle. With an LP called "The Mink DeVille Years" and the second disc "The Willy DeVille Years", this 27-song collection is the definitive document of his 35-year career.

Mink DeVille is one of the founding bands of the New York punk movement and had the distinct honor of being the house band at CBGB. From their debut album Cabretta, "Spanish Stroll" and "Return To Magenta" (produced by Jack Nitzsche) are included on this compilation. After their third album Le Chat Bleu, Willy was the only remaining original member. After the release of the sixth Mink DeVille album, Willy started his solo career with Miracle, produced by Mark Knopfler, followed by nine more solo albums. Released in 2008, Pistola was his last studio album, released a year before his death.
