Beastie Boys originally released ‘Check Your Head’ in the April of 1992.
The deluxe edition of Beastie Boys’ third studio album Check Your Head will be re-released on July 15th to mark the LP’s 30th anniversary.
It was an album which brought a number of ‘firsts’ for the group; bringing producer Mario Caldato Jr. exclusively into the fold along with Keyboard Money Mark, and recorded at their own G-Son studios in Atwater Village, CA with live instrumentation back in focus.
Bonus features on the 4LP deluxe version – first available in 2009 – include remixes, live versions and B-sides.
