Have $10,000? Buy Beastie Boys record label
 

The Beastie Boys' label up for grabs online

The Beastie Boys' record label Grand Royal is being sold over the internet.

Grand Royal, which was founded in 1993, was viewed as one of the most influential labels of its time.

It released Beastie Boys' albums Check Your Head and Ill Communication and developing artists including Money Mark, At The Drive-In and Atari Teenage Riot.

But the label ran into financial difficulties and was declared bankrupt two years ago, reports NME.

Now, online auction house bid4assets.com is offering up the label for a minimum bid of $10,000.

includes royalties from their records?

that label has been out of buisness for so long it has no value in most peeps eyes. I would sooner start my own label and put myself out!:thumbsup

dam that sucks Beastie Boys have allways been one of my fav all time groups... just when you think they are dead they come out with something hot again... I heard they were releasing a record this year has that now changed?

Hey Sarah,
Do you have connections in the music industry ?

what comes with the label??
what should it make it worth buying?

no..unless going to a ton of concerts a year counts. I wish I was but really I am just an obsessive listener :)

yeah me too! I just love music. It always makes me happy :)

What is included with the sales is on the auction website.

and its basically fuck all, unless you like Lucious Jackson ;)

some masters of Atari Teenage Riots and all that would be cool. but there is very little that would actually bring in money.


and nothing at all from the Beastie Boys

I saw them in '95 at Madison Sq Garden when they opened for REM. As far as opening acts go they were one of the better I have heard but that isn't saying much.

One day I should start a thread about worst opening acts ever.

You going to go to reading this year sarah?
<--- Is all ready.. even though it isnt until august :/

I'm gonna pass on that

:warning

no idea yet but I really want to go...missed this year because I didn't have a ride and the trains weren't running into the station. All my friends are musical wimps.
