Beastie Boys have announced a vinyl reissue of their 1998 hit album, Hello, Nasty, marking its 25th anniversary. The reissue will be presented in a 4xLP box set format, a style that was introduced in 2009 but has since gone out of print. This collector’s edition will feature an impressive 21 bonus tracks, offering a mix of rarities, B-sides, and remixes, all packaged with the original album in an expansive eight-panel gatefold, complemented by a slipcase that resembles a coffee table book. The anticipated release date is September 8, under UMe.
In other related news, Adam “Ad-Rock” Horovitz’s hardcore punk supergroup DFL also confirmed this week that they would be reissuing their debut album.

Additionally, an engaging oral account of the Tibetan Freedom Concert, co-organized by Beastie Boy member Adam “MCA” Yauch, is available to read.
