Beastie Boys' sample-dense second album, a commercial disappointment on release in 1989 that's since been reappraised as a landmark of hip hop production. Built almost entirely from an intricate collage of samples assembled with the Dust Brothers, it includes "Hey Ladies," "Shadrach," and the extended closing suite "B-Boy Bouillabaisse." The cover photo is a panoramic shot of the corner of Ludlow and Rivington Streets on Manhattan's Lower East Side. This is the 2019 30th Anniversary double-LP gatefold reissue, marking the first time the album was pressed across two records. Produced by Beastie Boys and the Dust Brothers (John King, Matt Dike, and Mike Simpson).
