isn't there a Mark Sinker essay about the essence of a "band" w/r/t Rolling Stones and Public Enemy ( or was it NWA?) somewhere? anyone know what i am thinking of, any links?

was MCA not on that ep?
nope - how chillingly prescient

It counts(ish). It's not like In Sound From Way-Out, where it was just a comp of previously heard instrumentals. It's a collection of new recordings. No one paid it any attention, though.

I bought 'In Sound From Way Out' on LP when it was first released, and I seem to remember there was some kind of hoop you had to jump through to get the damn thing. Like, coupon in Grand Royal mag or something like that? Hell, I'm old, don't remember. I *did* think that the thing had a lot of exclusive instrumentals, but I looked at the Wiki entry just now and, yeah, I guess it was just the stuff from 'Check' / 'Ill' with like two exclusives

I think the first pressing, on "gold" (yellow) vinyl, was originally mail-order only; then after the initial rush of orders, leftover stock was sold to indie or OS record shops - I bought it in-store in Australia, anyway.
No exclusive tracks - Son Of Neckbone was off the Sure Shot 12", and Drinkin' Wine was a Jimmy James/Frozen Metal head b-side - but many of the CYH/IC transplants were different mixes or edits, or vocal-less versions of tracks that originally had chanting or singing.

the video for Mullet Head is sadly instrumental, but it lets you focus on him shredding both bass and powder:

Why did MCA have to die. Couldn't Drake or Lil' John have died instead.

feel like we could poll the guys quoted on his wiki page
Yauch died at age 47 on May 4, 2012.[1][26] The cause of death was not immediately known.[27] Upon his death, Russell Simmons of Def Jam Records said that Yauch "was incredibly sweet and the most sensitive artist, who I loved dearly." Ben Stiller tweeted that Yauch "stood for integrity as an artist."[11] Joel Madden of Good Charlotte said of the Beastie Boys: "We wanted to dress like them, talk like them, and we wanted to make music like them."[10] Jeff Ament of Pearl Jam said that Yauch was "a crazy talent whose contributions with his band were inspirational and consistently ground breaking".[28] Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke wrote, "We looked up to the Beastie Boys a lot when we were starting out and how they maintained artistic control making wicked records but still were on a major label, and the Tibetan Freedom Concerts they organized had a very big influence on me personally and the way Adam conducted himself and dealt with it all impressed me a lot. He was a mellow and [very] smart guy. May he rest in peace".[29] Eminem said in an interview "Adam Yauch brought a lot of positivity into the world and I think it's obvious to anyone how big of an influence the Beastie Boys were on me and so many others".[30]

i know but it's only *kinda* counted for me, i see it as more of a 'side' thing like Aglio e Olio, yes it's album length, but it's not really a "Beastie Boys" album
