Solid Gold Hits is a greatest hits collection by Beastie Boys, released in November 2005. In contrast to 1999's The Sounds of Science double-CD anthology, Solid Gold Hits is one CD consisting of tracks that were released as singles, with the exception of "Shake Your Rump". A limited edition includes a DVD with the music videos for the same tracks. The Japanese release has a bonus song and video, "Right Right Now Now".
The cover photo by Josh Cheuse features a JVC RC-M90 boombox, known as "The King of Boomboxes". [1]
