Which version of these liner notes do you want? The one where I bang on about it being the first Bro Anthem and one of the greatest drinking songs ever pressed to vinyl? How I was amongst the teenagers back in 1986 that went to house parties and smashed back the beers and telling stories of how many bases we’d got to with the cutest girl in school? Or do you want the reality? The one where we thought Brass Monkey was rap song about a monkey and that we were all in awe of the Beastie Boys ability to upset our parents by doing stuff we’d never have the nerve to do. Oh yeah, besides, I went to an all boys school, so the cutest girl was the French assistant teacher that was at least ten years older than us.
