Re: Lots of rare items for sale
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.

Re: Lots of rare items for sale
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. |

Re: Lots of rare items for sale
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.

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. |

Re: Lots of rare items for sale
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. |

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..... |
