From “Paul” himself:
Celebrating the 20th anniversary of Paul’s Boutique we have digitally re-mastered and reissued the record. The reissue comes in five versions offering everything from a digital-only package with 320kbps MP3 downloads to an exclusive limited-edition V.I.P. Type package that includes a CD, 180-gram vinyl, a Paul’s Boutique t-shirt and a never seen before poster that’s 8 ft wide. (OH WHAT!?????!!!!!!???) Most items are available exclusively at beastieboys.com
Digital downloads are available in lossless formats (FLAC and Apple lossless). You’ll also find band commentaries, videos, original album art, and more.

Which option are you planning on grabbing?
I don’t know…I have a problem paying as much as they’re charging for each item, and especially so for an album I already paid for back in the day.
That being said, I’ve got more rhymes than Jamaica got mangos!
the website is a hell of a nostalgia trip… a lot of the user comments bring you back to ’89.
as much as my inner beastie geek would like me to pick up the deluxe package, i’m afraid i just can’t pull the trigger. i’ve already had possession of it in tape, vinyl, cd, and have it on my ipod.
the commentary would be cool to listen to once. though, it’s always going to be about the music and the connection i’ve had with it over the years. so, for $130 i’m looking at a t-shirt and a poster (yeah, yeah and a remastered vinyl album too). i just don’t think i’m down with that.
You can download the audio commentary for free if you’re willing to give them your email address.
I’m downloading it right now…
Here’s what that building looks like today, 20 years later.
