captainaldous Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 /1000 limited pressing of Beastie Boys - Licensed to Ill with 9 bonus tracks. It's a vinyl-digital pressing, same people who did the Kanye West, Drake, Frank Ocean bootlegs, etc... http://www.vinyl-digital.com/en/Hip-Hop-Rap/Licensed-To-Ill-vinyl-5.html?force_sid=5a1084929b97f1415648dfa97c39f811&listtype=search&searchparam=Beastie%20boys%20license%20to%20ill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Saint Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Grabbing this and Beyonce with the new Drake and probably Yeezus. I don't want to put in such a big order, but I might as well save on shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saint Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Did Beastie Boys need to really be a double LP though? I could do without the bonus tracks and handle a single LP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainaldous Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 A single LP would have been nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Quik Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 This isn't that hard to find, why would they do a bootleg of this? caninesapien and Cloudsbelow 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainaldous Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 Yeah, decently used copies go for just a little above the price of this, shipped. I assume it's just to have new copies floating around. I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saint Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I can't imagine this selling out or Beyoncé especially with much more limited variants of Kanye and Drake still available on their site. 1000 copies was a lot to press. But then again, Childish Gambino's bootleg sold out super fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again, Childish Gambino's bootleg sold out super fast. These are tougher to sell because they're imports And when word started to spread how much people were flipping the gambino record for everyone tried getting a hand on it. I was lucky enough to get one couple days ago, I may flip it myself so I can finish paying off my mortgage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axisrecapital Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Well, this is the first time that the "bonus tracks" have been available on vinyl as far as I know. If there is another version floating around with the "bonus tracks" then let me know....otherwise....Ordered and thanks for the post.

Korgull Of Morgoth Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 A pre-order for a BOOTLEG? What the hell just happened here? caninesapien and gabpower 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caninesapien Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Yeah... am I missing something? If it's a bootleg is it even allowed to be pre-ordered/sold through an online shop? I love vinyl and all but can't see the appeal with this. I picked up my early press of Licensed to Ill for about £9 and it sounds great. entendu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love vinyl and all but can't see the appeal with this. I picked up my early press of Licensed to Ill for about £9 and it sounds great. the appeal of the vinyl-digital bootleg guys is that they usually put albums that didn't get a vinyl pressing on vinyl, like the new Drake and Kanye albums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caninesapien Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Ah right, didn't realise. The pressings are taken from digital copies then? Still, the BB Licensed to Ill album isn't that hard to get anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr. sincere Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 No way this sounds better than the original. Those old Def Jam pressings are fantastic. And like others have said, they aren't that hard to come by for decent prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parahparap Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Rather than this, I think its better they repress the Childish Gambink bootleg again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Quik Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Rather than this, I think its better they repress the Childish Gambink bootleg again. They didn't do th gambino bootleg, because that "bootleg" was an official release, it was just a marketing gimmick to generate hype and it worked. An official release with proper packaging is coming out this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
