For Whom the Cowbell Tolls: 25 Years of Paul's Boutique (66 & 2/3 Book 2)

Think you know everything possible about the Beastie Boys classic album Paulâ€™s Boutique? Think again. To commemorate the albumâ€™s 25th birthday, author Dan LeRoy and journalist Peter Relic joined forces to â€œdrop the new science and kick the new knowledgeâ€ about this legendary 1989 release.

The follow-up to LeRoyâ€™s acclaimed 33 1/3 series volume about Paulâ€™s Boutique, this all-new book is crammed with deep research and fresh information. Released on 6623 Pressâ€™s creator-owned 66 & 2/3 imprint, itâ€™s a stunning new chapter in Beastie scholarship â€” and archaeology â€” that might just startle the band themselves.

Learn about the freshly unearthed outtakes from Paulâ€™s Boutiqueâ€”including the albumâ€™s great lost single. Get a behind-the-scenes look at Capitol Recordsâ€™ fateful decision to sign the Beasties and its controversial aftermath, featuring new interviews with all the top label executives. Take a look at forgotten, freshly unearthed Beastie artifacts.

Then dig into the â€œBoutique Bouillabaisse,â€ a multi-part tribute to the albumâ€™s famous closing medley, jam-packed with inside information. Watch rap's densest lyric sheet take shape in pictures of notebook pages jotted during the Paulâ€™s Boutique sessions. Go track-by-track through a rare Mike D mixtape that influenced the albumâ€™s prescient retro sound. Meet the hip-hop duo nobody knows, who inspired Adam Yauch. Find out how three DJs reconstructed Paulâ€™s Boutique, sample by sample. Learn more about characters like Beastie â€œtrim coordinatorâ€ Dave Scilken. With many more funky exclusives, this one-of-a-kind book includes 36 photos and three illustrations from artist Jim Mahfood's 2007 Beastie Boys graphic novel Ask For Janice.

For Whom the Cowbell Tolls: 25 Years of Paulâ€™s Boutique is guaranteed to make you as smart as when â€œGalileo dropped the orangeâ€!
