I have a stereo copy so will probably grab this to upgrade to mono (as long as GZ doesn’t royally screw it up)

You expect me to read! Pffft!

I may do a one month jump in for this. My mono cut is one of my first buys, I wasn’t always as careful with records as I’ve become and it has had a lot of time on the table so a fresh one might not be a bad idea. Plus I think last time RKS was a trainee being overseen by George Marino, be interesting to see if he’s able to a better job as a more experienced mastering engineer.

I am good with my 2009 RTI pressed remaster. That I paid like $24 for. Great album but this ain’t gonna cut it in terms of an “upgrade”.

Was the 2009 AAA. The hype on this reissue is pretty much as high as Storf could possibly set the bar:

“The thing that is most mind-blowing about our edition of Check Your Head is that we’ve remastered it AAA all analog, as the Beasties were one of a decreasing number of rap artists recording direct to tape in 1992,” Winistorfer said. “Our edition sounds as good as the best of our Classics pressings, the best of our Anthologies; I kept playing “So What’cha Want” on my turntable and laughing at how good it sounds. Our 30th Anniversary Edition will go down as one of the best VMP Essentials releases we’ve ever done.”
