BEASTIE BOYS - CHECK YOUR HEAD: LIMITED COLLECTORS EDITION (LIMITED EDITION 4LP BOX SET)

The Beastie Boys Check Your Head: Limited Collector's Edition On 4 x Vinyl LP

The reissue of the Beastie Boys' third album Check Your Head coincides with the announcement that the Beasties will headline the Hollywood Bowl on September 24. Following on a confirmed appearance at this summer's Bonnaroo festival and ongoing speculation regarding the band's appearances at various summer festivals, the Hollywood Bowl show is both the first headline show in the run-up to a new Beastie Boys album due later this year, as well as the first time the group has ever headlined the hallowed L.A. venue. This ultra-deluxe 4 LP 180g HQ vinyl version is packaged in a fabric-wrapped hardcover coffee table book case and is limited to 2000 copies!

Originally released in April 1992, Check Your Head was a milestone for the Beastie Boys on multiple levels: It was the first B Boys album to be produced in its entirety by Mario Caldato Jr. and to feature keyboard player Keyboard Money Mark, as well as the first to be recorded at the band's own G-Son studios in Atwater Village, CA. Most significantly, however, Check Your Head marked the return of live instrumentation to the forefront and backbone of the Beastie Boys sound, with the bulk of the album featuring Mike D on drums, Adrock on guitar and MCA on bass for the first time since the band's early 1980s hardcore punk recordings.

On the strength of now-classic singles and videos "So What'cha Want," "Pass The Mic," "Gratitude" and "Jimmy James," all of which are included in their original 12" vinyl incarnations in the ultra deluxe version, Check Your Head stormed the U.S. Top 10, ultimately returning th Beastie Boys to hard-touring, platinum-selling status, and setting the band up for the pop cultural dominance it would achieve in the decade to come.
