Beastie Boys / Ill Communication 30th anniversary

The Beastie Boys 1994 album Ill Communication is to be reissued as a 3LP set later this month, marking the record’s 30th anniversary.

The album topped the US album charts and featured the singles ‘Sabotage’, ‘Get It Together’, ‘Sure Shot’ and ‘Root Down’.

The new vinyl reissue is the same as the 1500 run limited edition, issued only in the US, in 2009. It features lenticular cover art and the addition vinyl LP includes 12 bonus tracks (remixes, B-sides and rarities). The three records reside in an outer rigid slipcase. The vinyl is all 180g vinyl.

While this is great news for fans – because the original goes for massive money these days – this reissue is £100+ which seems crazily expensive, even if the packaging is ‘deluxe’.

This 3LP version of Ill Communication will be reissued on 26 July 2024, via Capitol.
