It's been 30 years since Paul's Boutique came out, and to celebrate this landmark release, Capitol has pressed it up onto double vinyl for the first time! Dropped back in 1989, Paul's Boutique found the Beastie Boys in top form with production handled by the Dust Brothers. The songs from the Beastie's second studio effort are well known at this point, but if you want a trip down memory lane check out "High Plains Drifter", "Shake Your Rump," "Hey Ladies" or "Shadrach." No better time to update your worn-out, single LP copies, than with this loud and crisp double LP pressing. Comes housed in a gatefold jacket with printed inner sleeves. Limited edition 2019 reissue.
