Californication

On June 8 1999, Red Hot Chili Peppers released their seventh studio album, Californication. The album was produced by Rick Rubin and marked the return of guitarist John Frusciante - his first recording with the band since the 1991 album Blood Sugar Sex Magik. Californication has since become the band's best-selling album, driven by the success of three hit singles: "Scar Tissue", "Otherside," and "Californication". "Scar Tissue" won the Best Rock Song Grammy Award in 2000. Underlining the strength and depth of the album, "Road Trippin'," "Around The World," and "Parallel Universe" were also released as singles. The album has sold over 15 million copies globally, and is 7 times Platinum in the US. It has reached multi-platinum status in many countries including the UK, Canada, Germany, France, and Australia. To mark the 25th anniversary of this landmark album, a limited edition double vinyl is being released - with one LP pressed on red vinyl and one LP on blue vinyl.
