Beastie Boys: Check Your Head Vinyl 2LP
Super deluxe double LP pressing of Check Your Head. Best Beasties‘ album ever? I guess you can debate it, but there’s no arguing that this one is definitely up there. I can go on about it, but better yet read what we said about it when we got an import pressing a couple years back:
Out of print for a while now, we jumped at this UK repress of my favorite Beasties album. That’s right, fuck Paul’s Boutique and Wesleyan College. The Beasties live the American dream here, picking up instruments and playing skater thrash band, badass black funk-rock band, and crafty city rappers, all at the same time. I’m not quite sure there’s anything else quite like it. Even though I’ve gotten tired of the aging cult of Beastie, I still put this on when I want to get hyped up for heated recreational sports sessions (that’s right chall!). Every track is standout, but if I have to assign those pesky blue numbers, it would go something like this: “Jimmy James,” “Gratitude,” “Somethin’s Got To Give,” “Stand Together,” and “Groove Holmes.” Double vinyl. Recommended. Worrd.
