Beastie BoysLicensed to Ill - 30th Anniversary Edition
$30.00Call to Order
Heavy metal guitar riffs fused with booming drum-machine beats and three-MC tag-team chaos. It sounds like a frat party held inside a boxing ring. Rick Rubin recycles licks from Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and James Brown with razor-sharp precision. 'Rhymin and Stealin' opens with Zeppelin's 'When the Levee Breaks' drums. 'No Sleep Till Brooklyn' features Kerry King of Slayer shredding an uncredited solo. Unheard of in 1986. 'Paul Revere' is a minimalist, backwards-drum origin story. The first rap album to top the Billboard 200, now Diamond certified. 30th anniversary edition cut from original production masters on 180g vinyl.
