Nope. I know him. I'll ask how he put it together.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_EVVVzVMEM I'm wondering if this is a vinyl rip - just guessing. I have the vinyl single with this on it from a Record Store Day release and it sounds just like this. |

Re: HSC Part One
I ended up with a few copies too. I remember advance calling the record store thinking there was going to be a lot of competition to get the new Beastie Boys record and it was pretty much the opposite. One record store held a copy for me and I went to another and just picked it up out of the crate.

It used to be that DJs would have to track down the vinyl and piece these mixes together (either live using turntables, or on a multi-track recorder) directly from the vinyl. So, for example, you can get the instrumental version of a track and put the a cappella from another track over that. There are tons of tricks. You can create "instrumentals" by manual looping of parts of the track turntables. Or, you can track down the source samples and use those. You're basically just tempo-matching the sounds and bringing them in and out in much the same way that hip hop tracks are produced in the first place. Now that DJs have digital tools, they can piece together audio from any source and the sharing of digital files is really easy. You no longer have to track down concert vinyl with only 10 copies in existence to get instrumentals. You can just download the file and put it into your digital djing program and control it just like it was vinyl. |

I like and possibly prefer the OG mix, but I can certainly appreciate what Zdar brought to the table.

Re: HSC Part One
the mixing in the pre Zadar cuts sound closer to the Mario C days and that’s why i think i prefer them. i really wish they would put out a Mario mix of HSC and call it Part One.

But, yeah, it isn't a "leak" or any type of official version of HSCP1. Mystery solved. |

Re: HSC Part One
Yeah. For an album that is effectively driven by the same sprit as those 90s Mario C albums, it's a superior mix for me. Make Some Noise sounds rawer and all the better for it.

Re: HSC Part One
the original mixdown that the boys did themselves was really dark and muddy. and while Zdar’s mix was a large improvement, i also feel like the sub frequencies are a little out of control, and unnatural. that was likely by the boys’ request though, and a result of them recording it themselves. i think Zdar was ultimately called in on a rescue mission to try and squeeze the most he could out of the raw tracks. likely why it sounds so compressed too, and the low end so manufactured sounding.
all and all, one of my lesser liked records of their’s from a sonic standpoint. it was gratifying to hear Adam express his respect for Mario in the book, and admit they would have been better off enlisting him on later projects.

Thanks for this detailed explanation. That's kind of what I assumed, but wasn't sure if that's still how it worked, albeit without the endless searching for show vinyl like you said. I have a pretty big and pretty useless collection of singles from back in the day when I'd want to get the instrumentals to something and the only way to get them was to find a 12" that usually had the LP version, clean version, instrumental, and acapella. |

If there's any Beastie Boys stuff you want acapellas for I can try and make some as long as there's an instrumental version available too.

I think that this playlist can be fun for anyone. It pretty much archives everything that was relevant as far as HSCP1 or HSCP2. It's a story that fans, collectors, re-mixers, archivists, and historians can appreciate at any level. If you wanna spend 2 minutes finding something to listen to, you can. If you wanna spend an hour revisiting a particular song or two, you can. If you wanna spend 7 hours listening to the entire playlist, you can. Whichever you pick is probably going to be fun. |

I also prefer the og version of Too Many Rappers. I would love to hear the pre Zadar mixes and the original lyrics too. |

I wondered the same thing. So I asked. It is actually a pretty cool story about how he found a torrent back in the day and downloaded it and just let it keep running for 5 or so years. When the torrent actually downloaded it was password protected so he spent another long while trying to get other people to break the code so he could hear the files. Sadly, that didn't work, so he actually took whatever time was needed going through probable passwords until he tried tadlocksglasses and hacked the protected password. Then he did what most of us would have done and shared it. I thought it was a cool story. He's since added a more comprehensive playlist that tells a larger story. |
