Okay, here’s just a quick one. I still don’t have a confirmed win on my last speculation (that being that the photo by Arabella Field of the fledgling Beastie Boys on the back cover of Polly Wog Stew was taken at 307 East 9th Street), but in uncovering this photo by Josh Cheuse from a few years later of the band (with Rick “DJ Double-R” Rubin), I immediately recognized it. Here they are on the northeast corner of East 8th and University place circa 1985.
And, just for the sake of it, here’s my little boy Oliver in the very same spot this morning.
For his services, I’m embedding Oliver’s favorite Beastie Boys track. Enjoy.
