    Sounds great, even though it's not one of the better albums.

      Anyone compare this to the VMP edition? I bought this a few months before that one was announced. It sounds great to me... but everyone is raving about the sound of the VMP.

            Amazing sound and the jacket is high quality also. Definitely one of the top Beastie albums.

                  Is this the pressing that has being rolling out to record stores in 2022? What are the differences between the 2009 reissue and this one. I know the pressing I have has unorthodox plastic sleeves with little arrows pointing to the top. Thank you!
