| Year | Title | Notes | Source for 320 | |------|-------|-------|----------------| | 1986 | Licensed to Ill | Original Def Jam. Look for 2009 remaster (less tinny than 1998 CD). | CD rip / 2009 digital remaster | | 1989 | Paul’s Boutique | 2009 remaster (highly recommended). Avoid early 2000s Capitol pressings (brickwalled). | 20th Anniversary Edition (2009) | | 1992 | Check Your Head | 2009 remaster adds bonus tracks. Original Grand Royal CD also great. | 2009 remaster or 2007 Japanese mini-LP | | 1994 | Ill Communication | 2009 remaster has 3 bonus tracks. Look for “root down EP” versions separate. | 2009 remaster (iTunes/CD) | | 1998 | Hello Nasty | Multiple versions: 2009 remaster adds “Hail Sagan” etc. Original CD is fine. | 2009 Expanded Edition | | 2004 | To the 5 Boroughs | No remaster needed. Solid 320 from CD. | Original CD rip | | 2007 | The Mix-Up | Pure instrumentals. CD rip is perfect. | CD or Qobuz 320 | | 2011 | Hot Sauce Committee Part Two | Released 2011 (recorded 2009).
