The Red Hot Chili Peppers are a funk/alternative rock band that was formed in 1983 in Los Angeles, California. With their unique blend of genres and energetic performances, they have become one of the most influential bands in modern music.The current members of the band include Anthony Kiedis on lead vocals and additional guitar, Michael "Flea" Balzary on bass, trumpet, piano, and backing vocals, Chad Smith on drums and percussion, and John Frusciante on lead guitar, keyboards, and backing vocals. Frusciante has had multiple stints with the band from 1988 to 1992, 1998 to 2009, and again since 2019.

Warner Bros. Records, founded in 1958 by Jack Warner, started as a soundtrack factory for Warner Bros. movie studios. Over the years, it has evolved into a renowned label with subsidiary labels like Reprise Records, Sire Records, Maverick Records, Warner Nashville, Warner Jazz, Warner Western, and Word Label Group. With more than 60 years of experience in the industry and an impressive roster of artists across various genres, Warner Bros. has become a leading name in the music world.

The label has used several pressing facilities including *Capitol Records* and *Columbia Pressings*. Throughout its history, Warner Bros. has had different label designs for mono LPs and stereo LPs. From grey labels with black WB Shield to gold labels with Vitaphonic Long Play or Stereo wording at the bottom; from green labels featuring the W7 logo to palm trees labels without any address mentioned; and finally transitioning to tan labels with narrow horizontal lines before settling on white labels with large WB shield and ghosted gray shields floating in the background since 1983.

To determine first pressings of US LPs on this label, collectors can look out for specific details such as color variations on the label design or Saul Bass W logo on sleeves introduced after 1975. The presence or absence of certain addresses on palm trees labels also helps identify different pressings over time.

with valuable assistance from producer rick rubin, the peppers find just the right blend of punk, funk, and hip-hop. even with a running time of 74 minutes, this 1991 breakthrough has continuity and cohesion both within and across the 17 cuts. riding flea's surging bass, anthony kiedis delivers his explicit lyrics with a rapper's flair, extolling the virtues (and outlining the dangers) of sex and drugs. plaintive ballads such as 'breaking the girl', 'i could have lied', and the hit 'under the bridge' give the album depth and provide contrast to the raw energy of 'mellowship slinky in b major', 'funky monks', and 'give it away'. rubin masterfully fuses john frusciante's raunchy guitar with the irresistible grooves.
