Internet review: Beastie Boys

Rock albums are constantly reissued and repackaged with extra tracks, detailed booklets and remastered sound, but the Beastie Boys' second album, Paul's Boutique, is among the first hip-hop classics to be given this treatment. With the Beasties dismissed as pranksters in their early days, Boutique's ambition and range came as a surprise. More surprising is the fact that it still sounds current. Turn the volume control here to release bonus goodness including excerpts of the album, downloads, an audio commentary by the B-boys themsleves, the original promos and, best of all, enjoy a 1980s-style game of Ping Pong with Mike D.
