Some Old Bullshit
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Back before they were rock stars, entrepreneurs, and spokesmen for a generation, the Beastie Boys were just another band of kids, scrambling for gigs, scrapping for studio time, and just looking for a good time. Sometimes it worked for the Beasties, and sometimes it didn't--Mike D. has said that they broke up at least three times before they ever met up with Rick Rubin and Russell Simmons and made Licensed to Ill. 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." Fun trivia fact: Tim Sommer, who can be heard here as the host of WNYU's "Noise the Show," went on to become the A&R rep to sign Hootie & the Blowfish. --Randy Silver --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.
Album Description
Rare early tracks '81-'84. Includes the 'Pollywog Stew' and 'Cookie Puss' EPs. 1994 release. Standard jewel case. --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

Old School Beastie.......2007-02-03
If you like old school punk, then you will love this CD. This is from before the Beasties were about hip-hop, and from this CD you can see where there rock roots come from.
To complete your collection only.......2007-01-31
Buy this CD to complete your collection, but be aware the sound is very poor.
The title says it all. If your a B-Boys fan you should have almost if not all released albums.
" Well it seemed fun at the time ".......2006-03-04
I bought this since it was relatively cheap in a shop there was and I figured, I had nothing to lose and got what I expected which was the sound of teenagers making a bit of noise and having fun. There's nothing wrong with that. Yeah, tracks like Cookie Puss are hilarious but the other tracks here are equally as incompetent yet good. Yes I'm looking at it from the " so bad it's good " catalogue but really it's pretty fun to listen to. I have more fun listening to this than the dreadful cack like The Clash or the Sex Pistols ( Heresy? Bring it on! ). The letter which the band received from a disgruntled concert attender pretty much sums it up though. They are sub-Minor Threat, Bad Brains et al but really you shouldn't expect this to mean anything. They're 16-18 year olds here. They were having fun, nothing else.
Why not a Beastie revolution?.......2005-05-13
Okay, if you've actually heard this CD, then you get the title.
Folks, don't expect a lot of deep meaning about the inner mysteries of life on this one or pulsating grooves with deep lyrics that will change the way you look at the world. The teenage Beasties (and galpal Kate Schillenbach) are bascially having fun and acting the fool with their intstruments and screaming into the mike punk rock style. "Egg raid on Mojo," Traffic Cop," etc. are a good background to a drunk college fratboy party or the kind of thing you want in the background while your buddies are over for beer and pizza.
"Cookie Puss" and "Beastie Revolution" are a tad different. The former, as mentioned by some other posters, is a tape of our "Heroes" (?) making crank calls to a New York ice cream parlor with some beats added to the background. (For some reason, this "tune" was very popular underground in the early 80s). Then there's "Beastie revolution" (the chorus is where I got the title of this review). The Beasties spoof on the kind of reggae rap that was to evolve into dancehall. Initially amusing, but descends into sheer silliness.
If you remember (or still have) some of the basement tapes you made with your friends as a teenager where you are acting the fool and clowning on the mike, and add some punk rock, reggae, and disco beats to it, then you'll get the idea of this Cd.
The Title Explains It All.......2005-04-20
It's A Cool Thing That the Beasties changed there style.
If you are a die-hard fan and want for your collection buy it.
If not save 12bucks and buy something else.
If want a Punk-Rock Beastie CD buy Aglio E Olio, its only 3bucks.
