Produced by Rick Rubin when he was still running Def Jam out of his NYU dorm room, the Beasties’ debut captured three ex-punks diving headfirst into the city’s hip-hop scene. The album fused rap with rock samples from Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, breaking new ground in the process. “Fight For Your Right,” written as a joke, turned into an MTV anthem, while “No Sleep Till Brooklyn” (with Slayer’s Kerry King on guitar) and “Brass Monkey” became party staples. “Paul Revere” and “Slow and Low,” both written with Run-D.M.C., showed the group’s deep connection to the scene they came out of. Raw, funny, and aggressive, it was the record that carried rap into the mainstream.

I place a good size order and had some problems with shipping to the US but Peter took care of me personally. The records were in fantastic shape. Shipping was a breeze and the package was super safe. Will definitely shop more.
Wow, what a fabulous rare treat, box set to add to my collection. Truly a rare find that is in superb mint condition not to mention the great artistry of Art Pepper and band. East West Records are genuine professionals. Carefully packaged for shipping as well. Thank you Peter!
Be very hard pressed to find another Canadian site with anything close to the number & quality of Japanese Imports! Always graded dead on. Shoot Chris your want list & he'll find whatever animal you're after!
