Merchandise


Within the (admittedly poorly named) Merch section we hope to create a database of everything that has been ever been sold or given away by the Beastie Boys or their affiliated endeavors. If you'll collect it, we'll archive it. We hope to give the Merchandise section a depth equal to our Discography or Gigography so please contact us if we're missing something (which we know we are).

Title: Record Store Day.Com Slipmat

Notes: Five thousands of these slipmats were made and distributed to participating stores in the United States for Record Store Day (April 18, 2009).
According to the organizers, "The label created these for us, so they took care of contacting the band and doing all that. I know the band signed off on it though."

A Record Store Day participating store is defined as a physical retailer whose product line consists of at least 50% music retail, whose company is not publicly traded and whose ownership is at least 70% located in the state of operation. (In other words, we're dealing with real, live, physical, indie record stores--not online retailers or corporate behemoths.)
