03.30.2009 +++ Beastie Boys - Check Your Head - Deluxe Vinyl Reissue
Another great reissue.. this time we were brought in by the Beasties to give Check Your Head the royal treatment.
Limited Edition of 2000 - 4 pieces of 180 gram vinyl includes the full remastered album and the original 4 12″ singles - so 36 tracks total.
Working with Yauch on this one, we decided to turn this into an 8-panel gatefold book with silver foil on the cover and spine and a bunch of mixed varnishes throughout. Used the back of the Jimmy James 12″ Single as the back cover, included the full original photo collage, and changed up the colors on the original Grand Royal labels.
Then, to top it off, we thought it would look sick if this gatefold book slipped into a linen-wrapped case - and if that linen-wrapped case had the cover and spine image hot-stamped on in black foil for a subtle black-on-black vibe. Classy. And definitely a collector’s item.
Below is a little teaser of the package. You can order it direct from the Boys HERE, while they last and they ship out around 4/30/09. We’ll post some actual pics of the full pacakge once they’re back from the plant.
Check out the packages for the CD reissue, standard vinyl and download-only too. And grab the “Fat Shit In ‘92″ tee too! That shit’s a classic! We had to fully recreate the tee from scratch to match the original - only a limited number of these available too:
