12" EP Capitol Records (2019) US Shortly after Ill Communication (1994), the Beastie Boys released the Root Down EP (1995) featuring the original album version of "Root Down" off I ll Communication, plus several remixes and live tracks from their 1995 European winter tour. Mix noted that the title cut was "...based on a sweet Jimmy Smith groove, a tribute to the master of the Hammond organ" and Rolling Stone wrote that it was "...where the Beasties show their roots - in this case, the strutting bass undertow, organ fills and wah-wah, chicken-scratch guitar of 70's blaxploitation-era funk."
