Re: Record Collecting Feature
Nice article! Yeah, the Beastiemania crew have crazy collections! I thought I had some heat but they're busting out Pauls Boutique instrumental tapes, unused Licensed to Ill show vinyl and whatnot.

Re: Record Collecting Feature
Awesome!
Interestingly, I also got the Anthology that year for Christmas as my first real Beastie item. I also remember saving up around 10-15 years ago to buy the green Ill Communication vinyl on eBay from the US - maybe you beat me to it! I really want to Anthology on vinyl, it just looks like such a lush package - but I’m coming to the realisation that it’s gonna be expensive no matter what. Side question - how tall are you and what size Brooklyn Dust Music hoodie did you buy? Great work again!

Re: Record Collecting Feature
yes thank you for posting, cool read. i like the idea of keeping the number to around 500, that's a good move.
i recently discovered waxworkrecords.com and i immediately knew it was a bad find. my love of movies and movie soundtracks + the packaging of these is pure art and a total nerdgasm..not too mention how good they sound. i picked up the thing, cruising which is just an amazing collection of grime, taxi driver, manhunter, creepshow & friday 13th pt.4 for my friend. these are beautiful in every way.

Re: Record Collecting Feature
Very cool. I also love how whenever any collector references the lathe cut Aglio e Olio they always follow it with "this thing sounds like shit" just to make sure no one spends a bunch of money thinking they're going to get some sonic gem.
Good luck on Pollywog Stew and Country Mike! |

Re: Record Collecting Feature
Thanks all!

In 2017 I got the Ill Communication Green vinyl for $70 I got Aglio E Olio in 2017 for $64 In Sound From Way Out Golden Vinyl for $66 back in 2017 The Anthology for $210.00 back in 2015. Good condition too. (I think this was the best deal). Quote:
For the Brooklyn dust hoodie I went with a medium and it fits perfectly. My only complaint was that it was pretty pricey (I packaged it in with the Masestro shirt and PB purple reissue, which sounds great btw) and it the material feels a bit thin for northern climate hoody standards (it's May and we had snow yesterday). So if you are in warmer climate the hoodie might be perfect. Quote:
The 500 level is for a few reasons. Living downtown in a big city does not provided a lot of room and I also had to move multiple times within the past few years. So space and hassle of moving was one factor. 2nd is that I look at the collection as a more curated approach. Only the best makes it. I used to have 2 copies of Ill Communication, LTI and PB on vinyl. Then I consolidated to having only the best copy of each. I cheat a bit as I still have other copies of those albums on other mediums (cd and cassette). Quote:
The completest in me needed the official and physical recordings of the bonus tracks though. Thanks, as I mentioned. I almost don't want them because then the journey would be over. I almost have all the rarities I am looking for but every time I go to a record store I am always hoping to be surprised by finding one of those records for sale. |

Yeah I want that hoodie but it is pretty pricey, and I think XL will be too big for me. Sizes are all over the show though - I got a medium t-shirt from the site a few years ago that remains a perfect fit. I got a L Root Down soon after as there were no Mediums left and it was slightly tighter (?!) but an OK fit still. The last t-shirt I got (graffiti logo) was an L and it is skin tight! So they are getting smaller for some reason!

I'm no way close to a nerd collector, I just try to have all on vinyl, but no need to have from different countries and stuff like that. Most of them I bought when they were released (not Cooky Puss and Pollywog, doh!.... of which I didn't realise I had two different releases, one with live gig, until now when I was putting everything up on Discogs....). I'm still missing Shadrach 12". I've had it on look out on eBay for years, but the shipping from US has always been too much, and nowadays even worse. I just have to wait for my luck at Swedish record fairs....
