Hot Sauce Committee Part Two (Vinyl 2xLP)

Heralded online by a typically mischievous video trailer, Hot Sauce Committee Part Two finds the Beasties on marvellously carefree form, scattering references to food, microphones, Bob Dylan, Lee Majors and other pop-cultural detritus as joyously as if the Dalai Lama had just kung fu'd the entire Chinese army in 360-degree slo-mo. "Make Some Noise" opens the album with a farty, rolling hook and the self-referential chorus of "We're gonna party for the motherf*ckin' right to fight!"

To modern ears, attuned to the radically different concerns and techniques of contemporary hip-hop, the Beasties' bouncy old school sound will seem downright prehistoric. While post-gangsta hip-hop bristles with murderous intent, the Beasties continue to stage verbal MC battles like it's 1985. Released in 2009 and reworked here, "Too Many Rappers" ropes in hip-hop institution Nas to sneer paternalistically at the calibre of wordplay nowadays, like a New York summit of grumpy old men.

Roping in fans who were still in nappies when "Sabotage" was released is not, however, the order of the day here. Rocking the house till the break of dawn is. Forays into reggae and hardcore punk punctuate a tracklisting that rarely flags. "Don't Play No Game That I Can't Win" finds Santigold intoning languorously over a psychedelic dub track, while "Lee Majors Come Again" revisits the band's punk roots. Even the instrumental bagatelle "Multilateral Nuclear Disarmament" justifies its inclusion by being irresistibly groovy.

Our Grading Standards
We grade all vinyl using the Goldmine standard:
Mint (M): Perfect, unplayed condition.
Near Mint (NM): Nearly perfect with minimal signs of handling.
Very Good Plus (VG+): Shows light signs of play but plays with minimal surface noise. The most common grade for collectable vinyl.
Very Good (VG): Noticeable marks and some surface noise, but still an enjoyable listen.
Good (G): Heavy wear — for collectors only.

All records are graded visually and by play. Media and sleeve are graded separately.
