"I took this shot in 1988 at the G-Spot, which stood for the Grasshoff’s house. The Beasties had rented this house in Laurel Canyon to record Paul’s Boutique. By this time they were flying me out, and as they were recording everybody wanted to come out and chill. Basically we needed a little Ricky Powell-ism out there. So I flew in from New York and we were just hanging out at the pool, and I went into Adrock’s room and his bed was by this window that looked into the middle of the pool. So I kneeled on the bed and shot a roll of them swimming around in front of the window. I remember Adrock’s bedroom was built into this big glass dirt hill, it something that you’d see in a James Bond movie. It was like an underground bedroom liar, slayer maximus style. So I shot a roll or two and they later selected one of the photos on the roll to be the photo inside sleeve of Paul’s Boutique.†- Ricky Powell
