It was released in 1989 on the ‘Capitol Records’ label (cat.no. EST 2102), and comes in a full colour gatefold sleeve with a colour inner.
Beastie Boys are a hip hop band from New York City, formed in 1981. For the majority of its career, the group has consisted of 3 MCs and musicians Michael "Mike D" Diamond, Adam "MCA" Yauch and Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz. After achieving moderate local success with the 1983 experimental hip hop 12” ‘Cooky Puss’, the Beastie Boys transitioned from hardcore/punk to hip hop in 1984 and released a string of successful 12” singles. They toured with Madonna in 1985 and a year later released their debut album ‘Licensed to Ill’.
With seven platinum or better albums from 1986–2004, the Beastie Boys were one of the longest-lived hip hop acts worldwide, and they continued to enjoy commercial and critical success more than 25 years after ‘Licensed to Ill’. In 2009, the group released digitally remastered deluxe editions of their albums ‘Paul's Boutique’, ‘Check Your Head’, ‘Ill Communication’ and ‘Hello Nasty’. Their eighth studio album, ‘Hot Sauce Committee Part Two’, was released in 2011, and received positive reviews. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in April 2012, but the following month, Adam Yauch died of cancer, which led to the speculation that the other members may decide to disband the group.
‘Paul's Boutique’ was the second studio album by the Beastie Boys, and was produced by The Dust Brothers. The album was initially considered a commercial failure by the executives at ‘Capitol Records’, as its sales did not match that of the group's previous record, ‘Licensed to Ill’, and the label eventually decided to stop promoting the album. It's popularity continued to grow, however, and it has since been touted as a breakthrough achievement for the Beastie Boys. Highly varied lyrically and sonically, ‘Paul's Boutique’ secured the band’s place as critical favourites in the hip-hop genre. The album's rankings near the top of many publications' "best albums" lists in disparate genres has given ‘Paul's Boutique’ critical recognition as a landmark album in hip hop.
N.B. Although marked as Used, the record and sleeve are in Excellent condition, and the vinyl looks As New (if played at all).
