Beastie Boys are celebrating the 30th anniversary of their LP Paul’s Boutique in a big way.
Michael “Mike D” Diamond, Adam “Ad-Rock” Horovitz and Adam “MCA” Yauch are set to release six rare EPs to mark the special anniversary. This isn’t the first time the group opted to release new material to mark an anniversary — they celebrated the 15th anniversary of their To the 5 Boroughs with the digital release of 12 rare tracks.
The EPs, released over the next two weeks, will feature a mix of live tracks, outtakes, and remixes from the era of the hip-hop trio’s classic 1989 sophomore album.
Already out on streaming services are the EPs An Exciting Evening At Home With Shadrach, Meshach & Abednego and the Love American Style EP. July 26 will see the release of EPs dedicated to remixes of “Shadrach” and “Hey Ladies,” while EPs containing remixes of “Looking Down The Barrel Of A Gun” and “Shake Your Rump” are due out August 2.
