Remastered Edition! 180 Gram Vinyl Audiophile quality, faithfully restored.

The Beastie Boys: Mike “Ad-Rock” Horovitz (vocals, guitar); Adam “MCA” Yauch (vocals, acoustic bass, electric bass); Mike “Mike D” Diamond (vocals, drums).

Recorded at G-Son Studios, Atwater Village, California and Tin Pan Alley, New York.

First time around they were written off as more of Presley's snot-nosed ancestors, shamelessly appropriating breaking black musical styles. Then, after creating an undisputable hip-hop masterpiece (1989's PAUL'S BO­UTIQUE), they were tossed aside because they'd seemingly lost their commercial value. But now, having successfully made their “new style” over and debut it at Number 1, the only thing the Beastie Boys can be dissed about is their media over-exposure.

The phattening pleasures of ILL COMMUNICATION's 20 trac­ks come when they visit the old school–whether with DJ Hurricane on the wheels of steel in “Sure Shot,” or freestyling classic Beastie rhymes with Q-Tip on “Get It Together.” Or when they turn that classroom on its ear by replacing the samples and machine-beats with live jams.
