Album Notes
The Red Hot Chili Peppers: Anthony Kiedis (vocals); Hillel Slovak (guitar, sitar, background vocals); Flea (bass, background vocals); Jack Irons (drums, background vocals).Additional personnel includes: Norwood Fisher, Angelo Moore, David Kenoly, Michael Beinhorn, Annie Newman (background vocals).Recorded at Capitol Studios, Hollywood, California. Includes liner notes by Flea.All tracks have been digitally remastered using 24 Bit Technology.1987's THE UPLIFT MOFO PARTY PLAN was the album in which the Red Hot Chili Peppers' sound came together. Producer Michael Beinhorn (who would later go on to produce such other alt-rock notables as Soundgarden and Hole) helped the Peppers incorporate more of a hard-rock approach to their already rich blend of funk and punk, with often explosive results. The songwriting is more focused this time around, while the playing is consistently energetic. Though the album is strong on the whole, selected highlights include "Fight Like a Brave," "Funky Crime," "Me and My Friends," "Backwoods," "Behind the Sun," "No Chump Love Sucker," and the X-rated "Special Secret Song Inside." This would be the best (and sadly, final) album to feature the Kiedis/Flea/Slovak/Irons lineup--Slovak died from a drug overdose in 1988, and Irons exited soon after, turning up several years later as the drummer for Pearl Jam.

Reviews
  Red Hot Chilli Peppers - The Uplift Mofo Party Plan
Review created: 17/08/08

I've had the uplift mofo party plan album for some time on mp3. and never got round to buying the original. Even though I own most of the Red Hot Chili Peppers other albums, it was one i hadn't come across when CD hunting. Having had it arrive yesterday morning, it's all my family heard all day, and having spent the day reminding myself of it's magnificence, I have to say it's got to be the best album the "Chili's" have done with the original guitarist Hillel Slovak. I know some may argue, but I feel this album brings in another side to the "Chili's" that would show where they were going musically and mentally. This album shows that they were more than just a funky band playing with a punk rock attitude, and stands as a musical tribute to their late funky monk, guitarist Hillel Slovak, who must be looking down from above at them now with great pride, at seeing his dream being made a reality by them.
