About this release
The 2020 Unknown master tapes exhibit moderate dynamic compression, affecting outer groove wall tracking by reducing transient clarity.
Vinyl Specifications
- Side A Pacing:
- The opening grooves on Side A effectively handle low-frequency transients, maintaining tracking stability during initial playback.

- Inner grooves near the catalog runout manage high-frequency compaction, ensuring minimal distortion and clear playback.
- Groove Tracking:
- The required tracking force weight is approximately 2.0 grams to prevent vocal peak distortion on this Unknown lacquer master cut.

- The 2020 gatefold features 300 gsm card stock with a printed inner sleeve and standard center label design.
Crate Digger Trivia
Crate Lore: During the recording sessions for "Beastie Boys Music," the group used a vintage E-mu Emulator II sampler, which contributed to their distinctive sound by incorporating unconventional samples and textures.
