The publishing of "The Beastie Boys Book" and the release of the documentary "The Beastie Boys Story" necessitated a musical companion piece, and this is it: 20 essential Beastie Boys cuts spanning more than 30 years. Their formula of rock/hip-hop and instruments/electronics evolved across their career, and it’s a trip to witness here (on one CD or double vinyl): "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (to Party)," "Brass Monkey," "No Sleep Till Brooklyn," "Shake Your Rump," "Shadrach," "Hey Ladies," "Pass the Mic," "So What’Cha Want," "Jimmy James," "Sure Shot," "Root Down,’ "Sabotage," "Intergalactic," "Ch-Check It Out," "Make Some Noise" and more!
