Im interested in what year and how you got into listening to the Beastie Boys?

For me it was Feb 1987 l was 13 and my sister a few years older than me would play taped recordings off the radio and top of pops uk.
After a couple of months of listening to them through my sisters bedroom wall, l went out and bought licensed to ill on vinyl from Woolworths for £5.99.
Me and my best friend would then play them every weekend and drink beers, while rapping along to them.
After licensed to ill my sister stopped being a fan, after Pauls Boutique my friend stopped being a fan ......but l never stopped and they have always been my favourite band.
I listened to HSCPT2 today to me this album could be released with its style and sound in this day and age, the Beasties were always ahead of the curve.
