Time Capsule - Beastie Boys “Grand Royal” Magazine.

I’m moving to Norway soon so have been going through all of my things trying to tell myself I’m a grown man now and I need to move on… but some things are forever! Unfortunately for the Beastie Boys, these mags of part of my collection that has to go, or rather, I think they’d be great to share with someone who has never seen them before. #knowledgeispowerbettershared

So, these classic magazines from the Beastie’s now defunct Grand Royal label are full of future classic material, interviews with their peers and cutting edge artists of the times, and reflect all things Beastie. At the time the band was inundated with fanmail that they didn’t get around to replying to. Other bands had successful delved into the world of Zines, so in true Beastie fashion they thought, “Let’s do a magazine”. The 7,500 copies of Issue #1 sold out immediately so they printed 50,000 of issue 2, but ended up with 10’s of thousands leftover. Grand Royal, the label, eventually went under and the magazine disappeared forever.

The highlight for me is in issue 4, with Ghostface talking about the newly launched Wu-Wear clothing label.
