Same, I look at the roster and man the Beastie Boys were cool AF. I still covet the 5 issues of Grand Royal magazine that was published. IMHO, peak 90s cool was Mid-90s Beastie Boys and Mid-90s Beck respectively.
I did not even know what Ben Davis or Dickey’s were until the Beasties. I the Midwest everything was Carhartt.
They just posted the alternate cover version last week I think to coincide with Bandcamp day (same with the previous list of the colored pressing) my assumption that would be neither spectacular, probably best just to go with the version you like the most. TBH I probably would have gone with the Alt Cover version as I find it a bit more interesting aesthetically if it had been available at the time.
phew...so all good on all the albums? and was your wife gone when it arrived?
She was in a meeting. Seems straight. Only weirdness is You’re Gonna Get It was shrink wrap and none of the rest were. Listening to s/t now, sounds great!phew...so all good on all the albums? and was your wife gone when it arrived?
