Lots of rare items for sale

[bigfatlove06]

I have lots of rare items for sale. They are all the duplicate copies I've ended up with after combining my collection with those from astrobboy, beastienut, and ProfD (RIP). Originally I was looking to pass all the duplicates on to one collector who would like to have them, but there just aren't any people that want 50 copies of Licensed To Ill. I've finally gotten to the place where every scrap of info that needs to be archived has been (4 years worth of archiving).

I'm not gonna spam the boards with auction links, or try to keep a thread going where anyone interested can keep the conversation about collecting in the limelight. It's not a bitch move to make some $$$. Its me wanting (in equal parts) to recoup what I spent to put it all together, get my living room back, and channel all of the extra stuff I've accumulated to the people I know will appreciate it most.

I'm very purposefully NOT trying to hawk my shit on this board so if you want to get to me here is the info...

On ebay I'm bigfatlove. You can get me through there for items I have listed already. For want lists, send them to my personal email. (bigfatlove06@yahoo.com)

That is all.

In case any of you Beastie collectors are wondering if Bigfatlove is the type of person you can trust when making deals, I can positively say YES HE IS! Over the years we've made many transactions, most of which was me filling in holes on my B-Boys want list. Good dude, Beastie expert, description of items are always spot on, doesn't over charge for rare items, and easy to deal with PERIOD.

[bigfatlove06]

Thanks Big Dan!

Big Fat Love I emailed you this but for anyone who may have some deals, I am currently looking for these parts of my collection.

Big Ticket Rare Items:
Country Mike Red Vinyl
Polly Wog Stew 45

Only thing is I don't know if I can justify paying market prices for those two right now.

Something a bit more economical is acquiring the 12" UK picture cover pressings of
Triple Trouble and Open Letter to NYC

Or

The 12" Australian picture cover of Fight For Your Right To Party

I can get those of discogs or ebay but the shipping is killer, so if any of my North American friends are looking to get unload those, let me know.

Also looking for the Paul's Boutique 45's: Shake Your Rump / Hey Ladies, Shadrach / And What You Give is What you Get

[bigfatlove06]

I have everything except the PWS and Country Mike Red. Pootytang got the Country Mike, but I think it was a gift for someone. tuc70021 got the PWS 7". Maybe they'll make a deal on those.

I actually got both from you! But maybe you had more than 1 extra copy as well. Either way, they are definitely prizes in my collection now.

I'm not looking to trade either right now, but I'd suggest just keeping an eye on Discogs. A buddy of mine sent me on a quest to track down a copy of the black Country Mike album and sure enough one popped up and I got it for a decent price. They do occasionally come and go.

Bigfatlove - definitely looking forward to the day when your Paul's Boutiques hit Ebay. That's gonna be NUTS. For anyone who's been sleeping on it, the Ebay Licensed to Ill scene has been 100% stacked recently thanks to this guy!

The Licensed. To Ill LP's are all listed. As soon as the 7" & 12" are done I'll start on Paul's Boutique.

I started listing Paul's Boutique stuff. This (https://www.ebay.com/itm/223475088437) is the one people seem to be the most interested in.

Wow!

I something I never even knew that existed. Are there any digital recordings of the instrumentals floating around online somewhere?

Are those all the colour variations of the cassettes?

I haven't looked into whether or not there are rips of the cassette version online, but I know the Show Vinyl versions are out there as 320kbps MP3's. Sadly, I still can't find this one (http://beastiemania.com/discog/show.php?r=pbmcusorange), but other than that one it's everything that I've been able to find.

[Sir SkratchaLot]

Whoah, heavy hitting in here!!!

[tuc70021]

The Paul's Boutique era has hit Ebay....... God help us all.

But for real, everything rare about this time period is made extra rare by the fact that Capitol kind of took a big dump over the entire project and didn't promote it. I'm sure when they decided to press a bunch of multi-colored cassette tapes back in 89 they never would have thought that they'd sell for THOUSANDS of dollars thirty years later.

I always thought it was curious that no vinyl test pressings from the original 1989 release have emerged, at least as far as I know. I mean even Country Mike has a test pressing out there....

[bigfatlove06]

^^ That's a good point that I never really thought about. On top of that, the only 2 confirmed Licensed To Ill test pressings are from Argentina and the Philippines. There is this though.

They haven't sold yet 😂

[tuc70021]

They haven't sold yet 😂

In due time... I'm seeing hipsters in the city pay $20 for freaking mix-tapes these days. I never would have thought that cassettes would make a come-back, but they are. I think cassettes might be where vinyl was in the late 90s/early 2000s (i.e. just starting to make a popular come-back). So I wouldn't doubt if the PB cassette lot sells for a pretty penny.

As to the LTI master reel-to-reels - I don't really understand what role they served. I mean, I don't doubt that they are authentic, but just based on what I know about recording, I'm curious why foreign markets had their own master reels. Why didn't Def Jam just send plates over to Yugoslavia so press records? Maybe it was cheaper this way? I guess Def Jam was still tiny back then and probably couldn't afford to mail heavy plates to an Eastern European country, so maybe tapes just made more sense. I would be super nervous about a country like Yugoslavia (no offense to my Cold War comrades) fucking up the plate manufacturing, but again, maybe it just made business sense.

i put out a project last year (Get Correct (https://micodin.bandcamp.com) still available) and the only physicals that were made were cassettes and it sold surprisingly well. in fact i'm doing it again but bigger on the project i'm currently working on. i wish i still had my yellow waterproof Sony Walkman to bump it in.

i wish i still had my old tapes. the only ones i can located is s/t Run DMC and Paul's Boutique.

a promo booklet was done with the whole itinerary of the album from marketing plan to important dates...looks like the cd booklet....won't find that on ebay.

[brooklyndust]

Just want to give a shout out to Bif Fat Love.

Finished up my TT5B singles collection thanks to him. Great communication, fast shipping, fair prices, the records are in pristine condition. If you get a chance to deal with him then just do it!


Nothing sounds quite like the Triple Trouble j. wizzle remix or instrumental on 12" wax. Same goes for Open Letter To NYC

[brooklyndust]

btw, the Open Letter To NYC 12" plays at 33 1/3 on side A but 45 on side B.

Didn't know this while spinning and started listening to a Low Tempo version of the Open Letter To NYC instrumental. Sounds like a completely different song. Really cool.

There is a dude on facebook who took rips from the Paul's Boutique Show Vinyl, cleaned them up, had somebody do some cool artwork for them, and then produced 20 cassettes (all unique and professionally manufactured), then gave away copies refusing to accept payment. Old School Gratitude, and love for the Beastie Boys.

[bigfatlove06]

If you have one, 9th Beastie & Astrobboy have been looking for anything that confirms the handful of shows that were scheduled. Does it have that kind of stuff or is it one of those album and singles release date kind of things?

As it was explained to me by somebody who knows far more about it than I do... That was just standard practice at the time. If you create plate for whatever manufacturing company presses the vinyl in your region then you can either send that plate to one of many markets (then the run out grooves and such would be the same), create new plates and send those to multiple markets (which doesn't make sense because the have the ability to do it on their own), or send them master reels and let them manufacture the plates. It made sense to me. When the album was released I was 15 or 16, and it's the only master reel I have ever seen. So like the auction says, "I won't to pretend to be an expert on Master Reels. I'll just tell you what I know about this one."

And it is sitting on my kitchen table.

And if you want it to be sitting on your kitchen table you can do that for $400.

That does make sense. I used to own a reel-to-reel but alas, I didn't feel like lugging a trillion pound piece of archaic equipment around with me any more.

I do wonder how your reels sound after all these years. I think the quality of the tape mattered a lot. I know guys who have reggae reels from the 70s and they still play (not superbly, but it's fine), meanwhile I know musicians who've pulled their old reels out of their closets and they were basically dust. Then again, they probably bought shitty tape from some drug store to record their garage band while professional producers would buy actual good quality stuff.

[bigfatlove06]

It's all very fascinating. In the world of master reel collecting, the price may be arbitrarily high or low. I don't know. I valued it about the same thing ProfD paid for it when he grabbed itit.

[bigfatlove06]

Something I've noticed while going through all these is that because I got a ton of stuff from other collectors, I see tons of copies that have stickers, condition issues with the sleeves, split seams and stuff. Then you pull out the vinyl and it's pristine. Just an observation.

That is another good question. I have never looked into trying to do a digital transfer from a reel. I sent off some Laserdiscs for replication because they were really hard to find, and I wanted to have Digital to Digital recordings of whatever was on there (as opposed to grabbing audio from a VHS).

[bigfatlove06]

Third post in a row to my own thread is usually a good sign that I need to stop posting. For anyone interested in the items for sale, PB related vinyl is completely listed and I will start CYH items shortly. I'm going to go silent on this thread to keep from bumping it and using the bbs to sell. I'll respond to questions.

[Sir SkratchaLot]

No, please keep posting! This is the best thread on the board right now!! That Paul's Boutique Instrumental tape is fire!

Ok. Thanks man. The PB Instrumental tape sold to a private collector outside of ebay who prefers to keep the details private. It's in good hands though. They have a VERY impressive collection.

Sweet! I thought about it, but it was a little too steep for me. Some of these things are getting into the realm of SP1200 money! I'm waiting for when Adrock's 808 comes up for sale :D

I'd be shocked if he sold it. I don't know the guy, but in interviews he has talked about it like it was family.

[Micodin]

I'd be shocked if he sold it. I don't know the guy, but in interviews he has talked about it like it was family.

it’s sitting on a shelf in his music room. i don’t see him parting ways with it but who knows? the only times i’ve seen musicians sell off their gear is when they go broke or auction it off for charity.

[Sir SkratchaLot]

I was just joking about the 808. I hear is tooth i going to be on eBay next week tho.

[Micodin]

so the one i bought on canal street was a fake? well that's just great. i had that implanted in my skull like 12 years ago.

[bigfatlove06]

The memorabilia is a whole other level for me. I'm compulsive and want to complete things. People like Pootytang are amazing to me because they collect experiences in addition to only physical copies. It's not in my genes. I love the stories of people who just do it.

[Micodin]

collect experiences? explain.

[bigfatlove06]

collect experiences? explain.

I have seen them play live maybe 9 times. There are others who have basically followed them on whole tours. I spent a ton of time and money tracking down physical copies. Other's spent a ton of time and money just experiencing things and walking away with a T-shirt and a memory. My way worked for me and I wouldn't change it, but I love the stories from folks who got out and did shit. That's all.

[bigfatlove06]

i wish i still had my yellow waterproof Sony Walkman to bump it in.

Your wish has been granted. email me your address.

[Documad]

I am a natural collector but my compulsion has been limited by lack of space where I’ve lived. My books and records take a larger portion of my living space than they should but there’s still a limit (thankfully i guess). My favorite beastie stuff will always have pride of place. And there will always be evidence of my beastie past in my office even when it doesn’t fit in.

I travelled to my beasties shows before I had a camera phone and I was stubborn about not wanting to travel with a camera, maybe because my dad spent all our holidays behind a camera? I’m not talking about filming during shows, I’m still mostly opposed to that, But now I wish I had some photos of random things that surrounded my trips. Glad I have a good memory. I’m so thankful for beastie fans I met who passed the time w me in lines and helped me out w tickets etc. There’s another band I’ve followed around the US here and there and it’s great but different. Of course I’m even older now so there’s that. :D

[bigfatlove06]

There really is a difference between those of us who prioritize collecting, and those of us who go out and "Just Do It". It always seemed to me from a collectors standpoint that the best way to deal with the space issue was to find a place for twice as many items as I currently had. I did it a few times, and each time the space filled up. Not recommending it for everyone, but it's what I did.

yeah, i was one of those “walking away w/a t-shirt” people. i’ve seen the boys 24 times. i went to 12 of the gala shows with one of my best friends. it was glorious. while i think it’s great that u guys collect everything the band put out and became historians, i have a nice personal beastie collection but nothing like u guys do. the boys inspired me to make beats so i spent my time and resources on buying gear and records to make music. tbh, i get more of a charge working on tunes everyday than sitting in my spare room staring at my rare white labels.

[Micodin]

Your wish has been granted. email me your address.

i’ll send u a fax from my car.

[tuc70021]

Just checking in out of curiosity - did you have any luck selling those Paul's Boutique cassettes? Even though I don't collect tapes, I'd definitely want to go look at them all together in some sort of Beastie museum or something (along with the still-unlocated orange tape).

[bigfatlove06]

I sold the instrumentals one and kept the color copies!

[bigfatlove06]

Everything (Vinyl) from Paul's Boutique that I have has been listed and I'm putting up things from CYH now. For anyone following along.

CYH and IC are my favorite eras for singles and EPs. B-sides were amazing, cover art was cool, the different versions and remixes of album cuts were dope.

[Sir SkratchaLot]

CYH and IC are my favorite eras for singles and EPs. B-sides were amazing, cover art was cool, the different versions and remixes of album cuts were dope.

No doubt! I vividly remember when Check Your Head came out in 1992. I bought the tape but passed on the Jimmy James cassingle, figuring "why pay $5 for a few tracks when I can buy the album for something like $12?" Shortly after Ill Communication came out I was at a guys house and he had Pass the Mic and So Whatcha Want CD singles. I taped those from him and my mind was kind of blown because there was some dope stuff on those (particularly Skills to Pay the Bills). I started buying all the Ill Communication singles but the Check Your Head singles were impossible to find by then. When eBay came out around 1997 it became MUCH easier to find stuff. I started going back and scooping up the CYH singles and that's when I corrected by mistake, got the Jimmy James single, plus the Gratitude single. I also discovered in my overseas travels that CD singles hung around a LOT longer over there. You could go to HMV and whatnot and they'd have stuff from years ago. The European issues never seemed to be quite as good as the US releases though (I still bought them anyway).

[bigfatlove06]

This pretty much mirrors my story. I started recognizing that there was a whole other world out there with unheard tracks around '89. It's been balls out since. My first CYH purchase was the Pass The Mic US CD, and cassette. When we got the actual album at WGHR I played it from beginning to end on air with no regards for FCC regulations. I remember that I was kinda upset that there were so many non hip hop tracks, and not even getting to hear Time For Livin' with the lyrics because we had mono playback in the studio.

[bigfatlove06]

This is what most people did, and went on to do incredibly inspired stuff. Those stories are inspirational to me.

[bigfatlove06]

I'm finishing up listing 2nd copies of CYH vinyl for anyone interested. All of the singles are on eBay now. The LP's I have left are...
Ecuador Promo, US original, Europe first press, Korea, Ecuador commercial, US '98 reissue, US 2009 remastered, and 2 copies of the 2009 collector's edition with bonus 7".

I'm meeting a shit ton of new Beastie Boys fans, shout out to Emma in The AU.

[brooklyndust]

Did the Check Your Head Era ever produce any 45's?

I could be mistaken but I think that's the only era that doesn't have any.

[tuc70021]

Did the Check Your Head Era ever produce any 45's?

I could be mistaken but I think that's the only era that doesn't have any.

I was JUST thinking of this yesterday. As far as I know there have never been any official 7" records from the CYH era.

Ill Communication seems to have been the goldmine of 7" releases. They came out in all kinds of colors, limited editions, bonus tracks, etc. The "For Jukeboxes Only" promo 7"s off that album are great because they comes in so many colors, then there's the Sure Shot burgundy release and Get It Together green release. And they all had such great tracks. The Get It Together jukebox promo is one of my favorite singles for no other reason than that it has Futterman's Rule as the b-side. That's one of my favorite songs or all time, and it's dope to be able to just drop the needle on that track solo and have a listen.

Sorry.... bit of a rant there.....

Exact same thoughts here! Love Futterman's Rule. Also, love the Root Down / Ricky's theme 45.
Both are two of my favs.

[brooklyndust]

I just realised that TT5B also didn't have any 45's

[tuc70021]

Yeah. And on top of that, the vinyl singles off the album weren't very good. Just instrumentals, a capellas, and some pretty bland remixes. I would have loved to have seen some sort of maxi single of some track like Rhyme The Rhyme Well with bonus tracks of Brr Stick Em and thr other non-album cuts.

Agreed, but that being said I really liked the Triple Trouble remixes, I think even better than the original, but that's only because I was so disappointed that they used an obvious Sugar Hill Gang sample for the original. That has always been my main beef with Triple Trouble (not crazy about the hook either).

I also really liked the Just Blaze Remix of Ch-Check It out and the And then I b-side. In fact, I really enjoyed all the b-sides from TT5B. Now I'm going off on a tangent. I guess I didn't really have that many problems with singles from TT5B singles, just that I wanted more, especially after such a long hiatus.

Nothing can beat the extra goodies that came with singles from CYH and IC era though. I listen to those singles as much as the albums.

[tuc70021]

Can I also just throw out there that I want the Pretzel Nugget EP on vinyl SO BAD? It was CD only however, but that lineup is the shit.

[bigfatlove06]

All of the SOB vinyl releases are posted for auction. If Ill Communication is your era, and you want something in particular, I'd like you to have it. If I can't sell it, I will help you find it.

[bigfatlove06]

Some very astute eBay buyers have figured out that I'm selling things of chronologically and picking items off as I list them. I am not complaining because that makes it super easy for me, but if y'all want anything in particular I'd be happier to get it to you than someone else, so the email is Bigfatlove06@yahoo.com.

That's all

[tuc70021]

Another testimonial for bigfatlove06. I just scored some pieces from his big Ebay blowout that I've been wanting to add to my collection for a long time. Super smooth transactions and his descriptions of the records are extremely detailed for all the collecting nerds like me. Highly recommended!

[Pootytang]

Yo BFL! Big fat thanks for the Rootdown Box. It made it in today and is in amazing condition.

[Laver1969]

Hi Pooty! Smooth transaction with Big Fat Love. Thanks again!

[bigfatlove06]

Thanks to Pooty, Laver, and tuc70021 for the feedback. I sometimes feel a little bit guilty for using the bbmb for advertising that I have duplicate copies for sale. I also feel guilty for asking you guys to leave feedback here. Nonetheless, if people keep getting stuff they want for a fair price, it will ease my guilty conscience.

[Pootytang]

Im Pooty T and im back from the dead...

... chillin in the bayou down at Club Med...

[bigfatlove06]

For those interested, I'll be posting another 45-50 vinyls this upcoming weekend. The rest of the Ill Communication stuff, Hip Hop Sampler, Aglio E Olio, The In Sound From Way Out, and all the Hello Nasty era stuff.

Apparently is fine to unknowingly sell bootlegs on eBay, and NOT tell customers. Your listings only get removed if you actually tell them what they're actually bidding on. 😒

Have you tried listing them as just "Unofficial"? I see lots of postings like that and they seem to stay up for a long time.

I agree that Ebay's rules are stupid with that stuff. And half the stuff I come across on there in bootleg with no indication that it's not an official release.

On a semi-related note, I saw on your Aglio e Olio Test Pressing listing that you've only come across 2. As luck would have it, I scored one from a former Grand Royal worker about a year or so ago, so there are at least 3!

In due time... I'm seeing hipsters in the city pay $20 for freaking mix-tapes these days. I never would have thought that cassettes would make a come-back, but they are. I think cassettes might be where vinyl was in the late 90s/early 2000s (i.e. just starting to make a popular come-back). So I wouldn't doubt if the PB cassette lot sells for a pretty penny.

Cassettes have been a big thing for arty hipsters here in Stockholm. My friend's son has several bands and sound projects and on most of them their music is released on vinyl or cassette only. Another acquaintance has a coffee shop/record store where he sells loads of tapes and the weirdest music you can find. (I've bought LP's of Turkish psychedelia and Captain Beefheart, Cramps and Iggy bootleg videos and he has film screenings of all kinds of weird stuff (last month I saw a movie by Bee Gees done in the 70's, Monkees story, Detroit r'n'r venue docu and some weird Swedish shit) and live bands every now and then and art expo's as well... )

There is a dude on facebook who took rips from the Paul's Boutique Show Vinyl, cleaned them up, had somebody do some cool artwork for them, and then produced 20 cassettes (all unique and professionally manufactured), then gave away copies refusing to accept payment. Old School Gratitude, and love for the Beastie Boys.

collect experiences? explain.
I usually collect more experiences as well. I saw the Beasties about 20 times, every time they were in Stockholm (which wasn't that many), followed one UK tour, one European festival tour and the gala tour, a few gigs around Europe. All those gigs are treasured memories, I remember things from each one of them. Met loads of board people on the last tour and during the UK tour had a chance to meet the band several times, and I still have the olive pit Yauch spat down the stairs backstage in Belfast....

As I've always been listening to vinyl (must've been the last gal in town to get a cd-player) I have quite a bundle of vinyls, but alas, I've never had a well payed job I do not have any real rarities (and I always liked to spend my money rather on travelling), but there is one white 12" that I still want (and Country Mike, black or red). Also I'm extremely happy that someone from this board sent me the dices from MTV2 gig in Las Vegas!

Unrelated to this particular sale, but any idea what this could be?

The fact people are bidding is intriguing.

Superb knowledge, thanks

Is the great haul all up on Ebay, or can we expect TT5B and HSCP2 nuggets in the future? I'm uh.....asking for a friend.

[bigfatlove06]

It's not even close to up. I've got another couple of hundred vinyl that need to find homes. After that I'll move on to either the cassettes (around 250) or the CD's (around 1,000). It'll take years unless I find collectors who want bulk. That's what happened with the vinyl.

Just FYI for anyone interested, I am selling all items off. It isn't practical to try to do that on widely varying platforms, and this platform really shouldn't be used for selling items even if some folks are interested. So I'm primarily relying on eBay, and email to engage interested buyers.

I was so disappointed that they used an obvious Sugar Hill Gang sample for the original. That has always been my main beef with Triple Trouble.

I also really liked the Just Blaze Remix of Ch-Check It out and the And then I b-side. In fact, I really enjoyed all the b-sides from TT5B.

Nothing can beat the extra goodies that came with singles from CYH and IC era though. I listen to those singles as much as the albums.

I agree with everything said here. I like the b-sides from TT5B better than at least 4 songs off of the album.

Somehow have never listened to the Triple Trouble remixes (or I have and I just forgot) but this Graham Coxom remix is pretty insane!

Just checked Ebay and I see a few of your items up there - I'll definitely be checking regularly to see when you post new stuff!

Also, out of curiosity, do you mean you're selling ALL of your items or just duplicates and stuff you're trying to unload?
