Beasties to release greatest hits

MTV has reported that hip-hoppers the Beastie Boys are to release a best-of compilation album, entitled Solid Gold Hits.

The album, featuring tracks from across their career, is to be released on November 7th, to coincide with the band's 24th anniversary. Yes, 24th.

DiS editor Colin Roberts would like to mention that the Beasties are his favourite band of like, all time EVER and anyone caught dissenting and calling them sell-outs for releasing another compilation will be banned from Drowned in Sound forever. Maybe.

The tracklist for the 15-song album hasn't been officially announced yet, but someone claiming to be Adam Yauch posted the following rundown on the Beastie Boys' official website messageboard:

01 So What Cha Want
02 Brass Monkey
03 Ch-Check It Out
04 No Sleep ‘Til Brooklyn
05 Hey Ladies
06 Pass the Mic
07 An Open Letter to NYC
08 Root Down
09 Shake Your Rump
10 Intergalactic
11 Sure Shot
12 Body Movin' (Fatboy Slim remix)
13 Triple Trouble
14 Sabotage
15 Fight for Your Right
