Internet review: Beastie Boys

Beastie Boys' second album, Paul's Boutique, is among the first hip-hop classics to be remastered
  
  


Rock albums are constantly reissued and repackaged with extra tracks, detailed booklets and remastered sound, but the Beastie Boys' second album, Paul's Boutique, is among the first hip-hop classics to be given this treatment. With the Beasties dismissed as pranksters in their early days, Boutique's ambition and range came as a surprise. More surprising is the fact that it still sounds current. Turn the volume control here to release bonus goodness including excerpts of the album, downloads, an audio commentary by the B-boys themsleves, the original promos and, best of all, enjoy a 1980s-style game of Ping Pong with Mike D.
