Between the celebrated albums ‘Paul’s Boutique’ and ‘Check Your Head’, the Beastie Boys immersed themselves in a rehearsal space, redefining their creative process. This resulted in the remarkable Root Down EP, which showcases their evolution through extended jamming and experimentation. The EP features two unreleased versions of ‘Root Down’, both capable of standing alongside the original without compromising quality. Live recordings from their European tour highlight the group’s dynamic performance, blending early tracks with a fresh, funky flow.
