Collectors Corner

Welcome to the Collectors Corner where we hope to be able to give you some interesting info on rare items, places to find them, what to look for etc.

We will endeavour to update this section of BeastieMania regularly, with information on new releases and promos as well as newly discovered older releases. Interviews are going to be conducted as well with some of the larger collectors on the Beastie Boys scene.

Definitions - For anyone starting to collect out there, this is something you should become familiar with, the general terms used in collecting records.

Hints & Tips - We have also created a Hints & Tips section for collecting - so anyone out there getting inspired by the cool Beastie collectibles in the Discography should give this a read.

Bootlegs - An article about Vinyl Bootlegs - How to spot the fakes from the real releases, Pro's and Con's with buying bootlegs, and general information on Beastie Bootlegs.
