Reissue due this fall

UMe will celebrate the 25th anniversary of Beastie Boys’ multi-Platinum selling album, Hello Nasty, with a deluxe 4 LP reissue on September 8th. The highly sought after and long out-of-print limited deluxe edition box set was originally released as a limited run in 2009 and features 21 bonus tracks including rarities, remixes, and b-sides. The set is pressed on 180-gram vinyl in an eight-panel gatefold package housed in a hardcover “coffee table book” slipcase with a removable sew-on patch.

The set will be available via the band’s online store.

The album is loaded with analog synthesizers, vintage drum machines, call-and-response vocals, futuristic sound effects, and almost otherworldly turntable scratching by Master Mike. The project was co-produced by the group and Mario Caldato Jr.

Hello Nasty is a record that embraces a kaleidoscope of musical influences, with hat-tips to Latin psych-rock, Brazilian samba, jazz-funk, dub, post-punk, and impressive collection of collaborators ranging from reggae Vagabond Lee “Scratch” Perry to Cibo Matto’s Miho Hatori. Hello Nasty exists as a snapshot of a moment in which the trio were growin up without forgetting how to have a lot of fun in the process, too.

Preceded by the universal smash “Intergalactic,” Hello Nasty crashed into the No. 1 spots of charts worldwide upon its July 1998 release, with first week sales of nearly 700,000 in the US alone. Buoyed by the launch of the 360 in the Round Tour, the album would yield B Boys classics “Body Movin’,” “Three MCs and One DJ,” “Remote Control,” “Super Disco Breakin’” and more, win two Grammys, see the band presented with an MTV Video Vanguard lifetime achievement award, and ultimately sell some seven million copies worldwide.
