Back before they were rock stars, entrepreneurs, and spokesmen for a generation, the Beastie Boys were just another 80s hardcore band of kids, scrambling for gigs, scrapping for studio time, and just looking for a good time. There’s a few of the Beasties’ hardcore tracks here (the best being “Egg Raid on Mojo”), but for a peek at the future, listen to “Cooky Puss” (the B-Boys’ first underground hit–and a disco hit, at that) and the screwy reggae of “Beastie Revolution.” Re-Release of this compilation from 1994.
