Arrow Egg Man Accapella

Does this even exist? I know there were a ton of officially released accapellas years ago and I somehow lost my files.

This doesn't really contribute in any meaningful way (great way to start a post), but with the recent upload of Paul's Boutique remixes by Beastie Boys, I wonder if they could be persuaded to publish a cappella tracks of some previously unreleased stuff (like Egg Man) for people to mess with at home.

it’s a nice thought but they’ve promised a bunch of stuff that never came in fruition when the band was active. i doubt we’ll ever see the stuff in the vault or anything else for that matter. sorry to be pessimistic but going by their track record i’ve given up hope on hearing unreleased music or demos, much less them braking down old songs just to get stems and acapellas. it seems like a long shot.

i’m glad i snatched all those acapellas and loose tracks when they dropped them on the board. is beastiemixes not a thing anymore?

I thought I remembered hearing that the person who ran Beastiemixes was struggling to maintain the costs and/or hassle of the site, so it shut down. I could be wrong though.

id be shocked if they didnt already have all the acapellas and instrumentals in tow. thats pretty basic mastering protocol, especially for a hip hop outfit. though i dont see why it would be a priority for them to make all those materials publicly available just for the sake of it.



it's just 2 wheels and me, the wind in eyes...

I'm of the opinion that the way PB was made doesn't even allow for isolated instrumentals, pellas, or stems. We have essentially all we are going to get from that era (not including the stuff that never made the album). I bought a cassette version of the instrumentals that was a copy of the show vinyl around 1990. If anyone has isolated stems, it's probably just $Mark or Mario.

This is the most recent evidence that they tried to do anything with unfinished versions. Yes, they have done remasters and spread the tracks across 2 vinyls, etc... but in terms of comparing audio from the show vinyl, the instrumentals on this cassette, and the numerous bootlegs that have followed, there is no difference. It only exists on the original reel to reels, and they only have 1 of those because it was provided by a journalist doing a story on Matt Dike.

My thinking is that if they have accapellas for some of the tracks, they probably have them for the others too. This is the type of stuff I would ask Mike about if I ever met him! He'd probably be like "sigh".

It's not perfect, but try this for size...

Man, thanks so much. I just needed a little snippet for a mixtape I'm working on. I'll post it up when I'm done (should be really soon). It's a mix made for my 6-year-old son. Kids records over hip hop beats.

Here's a little sample.

Figured I'd chime back in here because I finished the mix.

The Egg Man Accapella was a really minor piece but it fit so good I had to have it!

Here's a link to the mix
https://jamburglar.bandcamp.com/releases

The place I used the Egg Man sample was in the third track "Mr. Mxyzptlk and the Missing Vowels", around the 2:20 minute point.

Mixtapes like this are intended to be listened to in a continuous mix because everything is blended together but if you just want to hear how I put that particular sample to use that's how you find it.

Also, here's promo video I did of the intro for the mix if anybody is interested.

Thanks again for the file!!
