Description
[Unlike the deluxe reissue of Paul's Boutique, the 2009 reissue of Check Your Head is laden with bonus tracks, suggesting that the lack of B-sides on Paul's was indeed down to complications with samples licensing. Check Your Head almost makes up for the paucity of bonus material by adding a full disc of extras, all assembled from all the various B-sides released on multi-part CD singles and 12" vinyl. Most of these are reworkings and remixes, even when they're not billed as such, usually offering variations on the mega hit "So What'cha Want" and some of these are quite good, especially the ropey Soul Assassin revision that has an extra verse from B-Real. "Pass the Mic" and "Finger Lickin' Good" are also in good remix form, while "Stand Together" and "Gratitude" are live, but of greater interest are the non-LP rarities presented here for the first time outside of The Sounds of Science compilation. "The Skills to Pay the Bills," in particular, is a dynamic piece of work that could have made it onto the proper album, something that can't quite be said about woozy larks like "Netty's Girl," the Zamboni soul-jazz of "Honky Rink," and the cheerfully stupid "Boomin' Granny," but when they're all presented as part of the extras here, they go a long way to illustrate how glorious this whole era was for the Beasties.] Stephen Thomas Erlewine.
