Beastie Boys To Drop Re-Mastered "Check Your Head" Album
Posted: Tuesday - March 17, 2009

On March 30, Beastie Boys' third album Check Your Head will be the next B Boys classic to receive the re-mastered expanded reissue treatment by Beastie Boys and Capitol/EMI. The retail release date of all physical editions other than the 4xLP version will be April 7, with the ultra deluxe following close behind.



The Check Your Head re-issue news coincides with the announcement today that Beastie Boys 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 Beastie Boys have ever headlined the hallowed L.A. venue.



Originally released in April 1992, Check Your Head was a milestone for 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.



Check Your Head will hit stores on April 7.
