{"product_id":"beastie-boys-ill-communication","title":"Beastie Boys - Ill Communication","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e180 gram double vinyl set faithfully restored and re-issued. By 1994 the Beasties had settled into their cultural role as the grand arbiters of cool, and 'Ill Communication' is pretty much a catalog of coolness: live funk, a bit of hardcore, ingenious samples of obscure records, keyboards by analogue master Money Mark, guest shots by Q-Tip and Biz Markie, MCA's cop-show metal number 'Sabotage', and the inevitable cascade of witty old-school rhymes. But it's also a surprisingly mature record from a band that had, after all, been at it for 12 years already. The original jazz-funk instrumentals hold their own with the group's favourite sample sources. their voices are modestly buried in the mix, and they've tempered their old snottiness with lyrical compassion: Check out 'Bodhisattva Vow', a salute to buddhist spirituality.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"South Records Ltd","offers":[{"title":"2LP","offer_id":64322481684857,"sku":null,"price":18.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0973\/1463\/6153\/files\/beastie-boys-ill-communication-south-records-ltd_0b9d9eeb-f6e5-4c3a-b4d9-c304894c5585.jpg?v=1787901890","url":"https:\/\/vinyl-relic.com\/products\/beastie-boys-ill-communication","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
