Does New Merch mean New music?

[pesto pizza]

I cant remember but does official new merch mean new music?
I would love the guys to release
* OG mix version of HSCPT2
* The early 90s instrumentals from the vault
* The gala event Blu-ray
* The apple tv Beastie boys story doc Blu-ray
* Beastie boys music video collection of every offical video they made on Blu-ray

No, it doesn't mean new music. Some nice merch. Costly though - and charging the same amount $/£ is not particulalrly reflective of the exhange rate. So fuck that.

As for the wishlist of releases, I get it, but I feel this comes up in thread after thread. Not a dig - there's not much else going on around here! But I wouldn't hold your breath.

Our best source of any potential release action / B-boys activity is CJ and he's not exactly an open book. Which I also get.

On another note. I picked up an original CYH vinyl recently. It sounds amazing. I really like the recent colour reissues for PB, IC, and TT5B. But I don't think I'd bother with a similar release for CYH cos the o.g copy is so nice.

Next year will be the 30th anniversary of Check Your Head...... just saying...... I wouldn't be stunned if there was an RSD release on colored vinyl or something.

I was lucky enough to grab an original sealed copy on eBay back in the late 90s or early 2000s.

Lucky indeed!

I'm used to the original copies of say 60s, 70s vinyl being superior but I find 90s onwards can be a mixed bag. But it sounds amazing. And surprisingly loud. And not a hint of any necessory for180g or a remaster etc.

Then again, I think the blue reissue of TT5B sounds better than the original so what do I know.

Desperado, just beep out the offensive word.
