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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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