Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: They got more stories than J.D.’s got Salinger - Now here's a little story I've got to tell. Back when I was 14 in 1985 I first heard the "She's on it" 12" round my friend's house and that was it - I was hooked on the Beasties. I bought the 12" for myself that weekend, and it's a record I still have to this day 34 years later. Since that moment I've been a huge fan buying all the early singles, with the release of "Licence to Ill" being a huge moment for me back then. I was there for the infamous Brixton date in 1987 with the go-go dancers in the cage and the hydraulic 'thingy' and I'm slightly ashamed to admit that I was one of thousands up and down the country that stole a VW badge or two (the technique, dear reader, was to use the brake level on your bmx for leverage to get them off. Sorry VW owners in my hometown, I was young and stupid.) Fast forward a few decades and we come to the release of this book. I pre-ordered this to get it on the day of release and then sat it on my book shelf for a while as I had tickets for the "Live and Direct" tour and I wanted to hear the stories within it told firsthand initially before reading them in print. That live and direct date was an absolute delight from start to finish, equal parts funny as hell and moving when speaking about MCA, and a real highlight of recent times for me. It's also sad realising that I'd never get to experience them live again and that was as close as I would get. On to the book itself - I'll refrain form spoiling it too much but it's been years in the making and it really shows, it's a fantastic heavyweight tome full of moments of brilliance and you don't need to be a hardcore fan to appreciate it. There's some amazing photos in there and my only regret is that I'd have liked some sort of deluxe edition with larger glossy pages to really show them off - but hey, thought might well be prohibitively expensive. I suspect that everything will find something in here and the tales of excess are stupidity are a real delight. It's a big old book but one that's east to dip into. You'll find yourself dipping in for long periods a lot though - to paraphrase it's because you can't, you don't and you won't stop reading this book until you get to the end. Review: But this book - A pleasure to read from start to finish & very well written. Insightful, funny, educational, illuminating history of possibly one of the most influential bands EVER! A must for all fans & even those with just a mild interest, can’t wait to re-read it ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 44,484 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 1 in Rap Music 168 in Popular Music | | Customer reviews | 4.9 4.9 out of 5 stars (5,116) | | Dimensions | 17.2 x 4.5 x 24.6 cm | | Edition | Main | | ISBN-10 | 057130804X | | ISBN-13 | 978-0571308040 | | Item weight | 1.59 kg | | Language | English | | Print length | 598 pages | | Publication date | 30 Oct. 2018 | | Publisher | Faber & Faber | ## Images ![Beastie Boys Book - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81itAyhCp2L.jpg) ![Beastie Boys Book - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Ep0d4UDRL.jpg) ![Beastie Boys Book - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91hK2rbAJ5L.jpg) ![Beastie Boys Book - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81-hK6646xL.jpg) ![Beastie Boys Book - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91xTWX1GPNL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ They got more stories than J.D.’s got Salinger *by T***D on 25 January 2019* Now here's a little story I've got to tell.
