Beastie Boys to Check Your Head Once Again

Fresh on the heels of reissuing their first masterpiece Paul’s Boutique earlier this month, Shadrach, Meshach and Abendago – or Mike D., Adrock and MCA – will be reissuing the 1992 follow-up, Check Your Head. While the 8-panel fold-out editions of both the vinyl and CD of Paul’s Boutique were welcomed into the world, all the stops were pulled when tackling Check Your Head.
