Album Notes Red Hot Chili Peppers: Anthony Keidis (vocals); Jack Sherman (guitar); Flea (bass); Cliff Martinez (drums).Additional personnel: Keith Barry (viola); Kenny Flood (tenor saxophone); Patrick English (trumpet); Phil Ranelin (trombone); Cliff Brooks (timbales, congas); Gwen Dickey (background vocals). Recorded at El Dorado, Los Angeles, California. Includes liner notes by Flea.All tracks have been digitally remastered using 24 Bit Technology.The Red Hot Chili Peppers' 1984 self-titled debut may not have been as stellar as future releases would be (UPLIFT MOFO PARTY PLAN, MOTHER'S MILK, etc.), but the band's intoxicating punk-funk proved to be a breath of fresh air in an otherwise stagnant rock scene. Original members Hillel Slovak (guitar) and Jack Irons (drums) bowed out just prior to the recording of the debut (they'd return for the next release, 1985's FREAKY STYLEY), as fill-ins Jack Sherman and Cliff Martinez joined singer Anthony Kiedis and bassist Flea. The album-opening "True Men Don't Kill Coyotes" was the band's first video to appear on MTV, while "Get Up and Jump" has proven to be a perennial concert staple. Other highlights include "Green Heaven," "Out in L.A.," and "Police Helicopter." | |||||||||||
Reviews Review created: 11/10/07 by: 1 of 1 people found this review helpful. This is the Chili's first ever album and was released in August 1984. Only two current members of the band are in this album and the style of music is completely different to the music we know from the modern albums. Bear in mind they were still at college and the band was not the success story it is today, but in my opinion this is not their best album. But then again, we are talking about a band with so many award winning albums and singles! Not being the best album is hardly putting them down! I seriously believe that all Chili's fans should have this album as it is a part of modern music history. Listening to the style and songs you will see that they had what it takes to go as far as they did, but you will also realise how far they have actually come. The album contains one or two well known songs, but to the younger fans you will be surprised to hear some of their work. It is so different to today's style and standard that it is understandable to question the fact that they are the Chilli Peppers. In my opinion it is not their best album, in order of popularity I would put it towards the end, but I really think that anyone who likes the Chili's should make an attempt to listen to this album so you know where the world's greatest band started!
