Beastie Boys – Sure Shot (Vinyl, 7", Single, 45 RPM, Limited Edition, Burgundy Vinyl, 1994, Capitol Records / Grand Royal CL 726)

Why This Record Matters
“Sure Shot” was released from the Beastie Boys’ 1994 album Ill Communication and reached No. 27 on the UK Singles Chart. Built around a prominent sample of jazz flautist Jeremy Steig’s “Howlin’ for Judy,” the track reflects the group’s combination of hip-hop production, live instrumentation, and eclectic sampling during the Ill Communication era.

Collector Note
This 1994 UK limited-edition 7-inch pressing, catalog number CL 726, is pressed on burgundy vinyl and contains three tracks. The release pairs the album version of “Sure Shot” with “Mullet Head” and the Mario Caldato remix of “Sure Shot.”
