Sweet! Had no idea.

I would love it if they released an album with remixed and remastered versions of Desperado, I'm Down, Rock Hard, Beastie Groove and some other unreleased songs from the vault.

They could put some new instrumentals on them to solve the sampling issues and take out some of the politically incorrect lyrics. :p

Maybe throw on some new remixes of their biggest hits too. They never released a remix album or a proper live album.

the live mash up of the two Slow and Low's around 24 mins is pretty amazing.
