Beastie Boys' Paul Boutique 20th Anniversary Edition Available TODAY!
From a Beastie Boys press release:
"The first and most probably only hip hop record ever to be likened to Abbey Road, Dark Side Of The Moon and Pet Sounds [ed note: Er, what about Three Feet High and Rising, Late Registration, The Chronic, almost any album by Outkast etc. etc.??], Beastie Boys' groundbreaking Paul's Boutique will celebrate its 20th birthday with a digitally remastered, visually expanded version. The 20th anniversary edition will finally see the landmark album released as its creators originally intended.
The Paul's Boutique 20th anniversary re-release will be available in a multitude of formats, the first being a digital download available exclusively as of today at www.beastieboys.com (which has been completely overhauled and re-designed to commemorate the re-release). The basic 320kbps digital download with 3D interactive digital artwork will be available immediately upon order.
