Licensed to Sick is the debut studio anthology by American rap stone grouping Beastie Boys. It was released on November 15, 1986, by Def Jam and Columbia Records, and became the commencement rap LP to top the Billboard album chart. It is one of Columbia Records' fastest-selling debut records to date and was certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America in 2015 for shipping over ten million copies in the U.s.a..[1]

Groundwork [edit]

The group originally wanted to championship the album Don't Be a Faggot, only Columbia Records refused to release the album under this title—arguing that it was homophobic—and pressured Russell Simmons, Beastie Boys' manager and caput of Def Jam Recordings at the time, into forcing them to cull another proper noun.[6] [7] Adam Horovitz has since apologized for the album's earlier title.[eight]

Kerry King of Slayer made an appearance on the album playing lead guitar on "No Sleep Till Brooklyn" and appeared in the music video which is a parody of glam metal.[ix] The proper noun of the vocal itself is a spoof on Motörhead's No Sleep 'til Hammersmith album.[nine] Rex's appearance on the track came well-nigh because Rick Rubin was producing both bands simultaneously (Slayer's Reign in Blood was released one month prior on Def Jam).[9]

CBS/Pull a fast one on Video released a video anthology of the five Licensed to Ill videos, plus "She'southward on It" in 1987 to capitalize on the album's success.[10] A laserdisc version was also released in Nihon.[10] All versions of the CBS/Fox release are currently out of print because the rights to the album passed from Columbia and Sony Music to Universal Music Group, and also because of the acrimonious nature of the band's departure from Def Jam Records.[10] Until the 2005 release of the CD/DVD Solid Gold Hits, none of the Def Jam-era videos had been included on whatever subsequent Beastie Boys video compilations.[10] The Solid Gold Hits DVD includes the videos for "Fight for Your Right" and "No Sleep Till Brooklyn", as well every bit a live version of "Brass Monkey" from a 2004 concert.[x]

Beastie Boys recorded a loose rendition of the Beatles' "I'm Downwards" for the album, which included sampling of the original song, merely the track was pulled at the concluding minute due to legal disputes with Michael Jackson who owned the publishing rights.[11] Both "I'm Down," and some other track, "Scenario," were cutting at the concluding minute. Bootleg versions of the songs tin exist found on the internet.[12]

Artwork [edit]

The full album encompass, front to back, features an American Airlines Boeing 727 with a Beastie Boys logo on its tail, which has crashed head-on into the side of a mountain, appearing as an extinguished articulation.[thirteen] The idea for the album's cover came from the anthology'due south producer, Rick Rubin, afterwards reading the Led Zeppelin biography, Hammer of the Gods.
