1982 poster for Destiny Street Repaired recording photo by Roberta Bayley
18" x 24" color offset printed signed by Hell $39.95
OR 11" x 17" color offset printed signed by Hell $29.95
Destiny Street Repaired poster of R. Hell The large poster was made for the 2009 release of Hell's deluxe LP/CD/poster edition of Destiny Street Repaired. It's a brilliant picture by Roberta Bayley, highly evocative of that moment in New York City music/art downtown life, made in the same afternoon session that resulted in the original Destiny Street cover shot. On the reverse side of it is the marvelous poster created by Josh Smith around the series of emails that serve as the liner notes to the album. The large poster ships flat, folded twice. Also offered is a smaller version at 11" x 17", signed as well. This poster's reverse side is blank. The smaller poster ships rolled, in a sturdy tube. There are fewer than 100 copies of each version. We've made a page of larger depictions of the posters for you to check.

Smithereens 1982 feature film directed by Susan Seidelman
(Blue Underground: 2004) DVD of 93 min. color film
including 2004 interview with Hell regarding film
DVD [SOLD OUT]
SMITHEREENS film starring Richard Hell As Richard says in his video interview included as a bonus on this DVD, this is by far the best job he did in a movie (thanks to the director, cast, crew, and screenwriter) and the best movie he was in. Hell plays a lead role as a musician in the seedy, corrupt "New Wave" New York scene of the early eighties. It's the only film of Hell's that has any real scope and that gives Hell anything to chew on as an actor. Andrew Sarris, the noted "dean of American film critics" wrote, on its release, that, "What brings the movie to life is Richard Hell's outrageously self-mocking representation of the punk ethos as Eric, a hustler with marvelously darting eyes, half-narcissistic and half predatory. I have not seen such a classy, comic personification of a pimp type since Dan Duryea stopped kicking Joan Bennett around in Fritz Lang's Woman in the Window and Scarlet Street." Smithereens made history as the first independent American film invited to compete at the Cannes Film Festival. It was written by Ron Nyswanner, who was later nominated for a screenwriting Oscar for Philadelphia. Susan Seidelmen, the movie's director, followed it up with Desperately Seeking Susan (in which Richard, along with a lot of other "downtown" people, has a teeny cameo). The story is of a waifish, if aggressive, girl (Susan Berman), hanging in the music scene and determined to become known even though she has no particular talents. Hell plays the local musician/hustler she latches onto as her ticket to the bigtime. The DVD presents the original 1.66:1 aspect ratio, with bonuses of interviews with Berman and Hell, as well as a version of the film with running audio commentary by Seidelman. Though the movie is somewhat depressing, treating as it does the leftover "new wave" degradation of a musical/cultural phenomenon that was vital and brilliant when it first began ("punk"), it's quite well done, and anyone interested in Hell or the era will want to have it. Incidentally, it has a great score by the Feelies.

Final Reward downtown film starring Hell directed by Rachid Kerdouche
VHS videotape of 67 minute 1978 16 mm black and white movie [SOLD OUT]
still photo of Richard Hell in FINAL REWARD Final Reward is a strange concoction of a film that hasn't been seen since its initial screenings in 1978 and is now available exclusively from us in tapes struck from the director's original master. The movie is a compendium of noir heist tropes set among underground punk, fashion/nightclub, and theater stars of that time. Richard has the lead role, playing the former "king" of the scene returned from jail to find his woman (Cookie Mueller) now living with "Sam" (Terri Toye). Cookie Mueller, of course, was in real life the fabulous writer and actress (John Waters got her to try to have sex with a chicken in Pink Flamingos) who was a good friend of Hell's and one of the best things about this movie is the S & M scene they have. Terri Toye was a fashionable transgender (man-->woman) nightclubber and sometime fashion model as well as subject of a famous series of sex pictures Nan Goldin took of her with Patrick Fox. In the movie she plays a man who's actually a woman (I think). Anyway, Richard ("Crash") reclaims Cookie from Sam, and starts planning a big robbery with his old crew, mostly because he wants to help make them "feel alive" again. The movie is a fascinating artifact rather than a conventionally "good" movie. While it is creatively shot in dramatic black and white, every sentence of its script is inappriopriate in one way or another and as an actor Hell sometimes seems like a puppet corpse, like one of those dead frogs in science class you could get to kick a leg by passing an electric current through it. Still, Hell is scarily charismatic in it and no serious Hell fan or student of the era should be without this film. It also features John Heys, John Sex, Bill Rice, Geoffrey Carey, and Donna Death, and the abundant music is by Patti Smith's keyboardist of the time, Richard Sohl. We do have available the intense Hell-designed original posters for the movie.

Blank Generation 1978 feature film directed by Ulli Lommel
(Anchor Bay: 2000) DVD of 85 min. color 35mm fiction film [SOLD OUT]
Ulli Lommel's BLANK GENERATION This is a beautiful widescreen DVD version of this feature film (not to be confused with A. Poe's 50 minute documentary of the same title). Just as in Smithereens Hell plays a guy who dresses more or less like the "real life" Hell and leads a NY band, in this case the actual Voidoids of the Blank Generation album, that plays Hell's actual songs. The flick's a ridiculous romance between Hell and icy but outrageously gorgeous French star Carole Bouquet (of Bunuel's Obscure Object of Desire, as well as being a James Bond Girl, and the Chanel model in the '80s), but there're lots of priceless moments, and the unique thing about the movie is that it has Hell and the Voidoids doing three numbers filmed and recorded live at CBGB (!), plus a fake recording session where Hell lip-synchs to "New Pleasure." Andy Warhol has a scene too. Truly a must-have for any Hell fan. You can watch a RealPlayer video clip of the scene where Hell and the band play "Liars Beware" at a sound check--really recorded live, if not an actual sound check--at CBGB in 1978, as well as a live video clip version of "Blank Generation" also at CBGB (with Hell scripted to stalk off stage before the song is completed). Bear in mind it had to be cropped left and right from its real widescreen format in order to fit the RealPlayer tv-like screen shape. Cool though.

ORIGINAL April 1978 Voidoids poster poster by Hell
11" x 17" b&w offset printed [SOLD OUT]
orig. Voidoids poster: CBGB April 1978 A larger-sized image of it. We think that, apart from music, this is the best Voidoids souvenir there is. It's a great, classic, Roberta Bayley photo in a design and lettering by Hell, including a slightly-reworded appropriation from his maître Lautréamont. Perfect. It's also the last of this classic series of early New York posters for his bands that Richard made. These are printed on noticeably heavier paper than the other posters. They are in "as new" condition.
