Beastie Boys - Check Your Head - 2XLP
"Check Your Head," the Beastie Boys' third studio album, was released on April 21, 1992, by Grand Royal and Capitol Records, marking a notable departure from the sample-heavy style of their earlier work. Recorded in 1991 at G-Son Studios in Atwater Village and produced by Mario Caldato Jr., the album showcases the band members' instrumental talents—Adam Horovitz on guitar, Adam Yauch on bass, and Mike Diamond on drums—reflecting a more organic musical approach. In 2009, the album was re-released in various formats, enriched with 16 b-sides, rarities, and a commentary track. "Check Your Head" is celebrated in the 2007 book "Check the Technique," which offers a detailed breakdown of each track by the band members, Caldato, and Money Mark, highlighting its significance in the Beastie Boys' discography.
