Capitol Records, founded in 1942 as Liberty Records, is a renowned music label based in Hollywood, California. With a rich history and impressive sales of 42 million records by 1946, Capitol quickly became one of the Big Six studios. In 1955, it was acquired by British company EMI for $8.5 million and later became part of the Universal Music Group's Worldwide division in 1979. The merger with Priority Records in 2001 further solidified Capitol's position in the industry.

EMI began releasing Capitol products in the UK, Europe, and Australasia from January 1956 onwards after licenses with other record companies expired. Over the years, Capitol has seen various changes in ownership and management. In September 2012, it was purchased by Vivendi S.A., owner of Universal Music Group.

Capitol Records is known for its distinctive album prefix codes that provide valuable information about each release. These codes include letters indicating stereo or mono recordings, price codes denoting different list prices, indicators for multiple discs or special packaging.

The Beastie Boys are an American hip hop band that formed in New York in 1981. Originally a hardcore punk combo, they gained success with their first hip hop track, "Cooky Puss" in 1983. The group transitioned into a rap group that occasionally incorporated punk rock tracks into their albums. From 1992 to 2001, they operated the Grand Royal label. Following the death of Adam Yauch in 2012, the band officially disbanded in June 2014.

The original members of the Beastie Boys included Ad Rock (Adam Horovitz) on vocals and guitar from 1982 until 2014, MCA (Adam Yauch) on vocals and bass from 1981 until his passing in 2012, and Mike D (Michael Diamond) on vocals and drums from 1981 until 2014. The band also had additional members during various periods including Kate Schellenbach on drums from 1981 to 1984.

Throughout their career, the Beastie Boys collaborated with several touring members such as Rick Rubin as DJ Double R from 1984 to 1985, DJ Hurricane from 1986 to1997, Mix Master Mike from1998 to2014 among others. Their unique blend of genres and energetic performances made them one of the most influential groups in hip hop history.

in celebration of beastie boys' 24th anniversary, capitol records has suddenly decided to pay tribute to their second (or perhaps even third) best band with a greatest hits record. this sick ass 15-track compendium distills the nyc trio's storied career into a very friendly friend format: it makes it's way from the early years - 'no sleep 'til brooklyn' and 'fight for your right' through the mid 'grand royal' period - 'shake your rump', 'so what'cha want' and 'sabotage' and right into recent years - 'ch-check it out', 'an open letter to nyc' and 'triple trouble'.
