Red Hot Chili Peppers - What Hits (1992)

This is the very first RHCP compilation, as it contains material from the first four albums such as Mother's Milk, The Uplift Mojo Party Plan, The Red Hot Chili Peppers and Freaky Styley. The time spanning from 1984 to 1991. The title is just a joke because they never had any hits. It also has the Jimi Hendrix cover "Fire" on there.Instead of doing every single one of there eighties album, it's combined of the best of the best from the early days of the Chili Peppers. This came out after Blood Sugar Sex Magik and I think they wanted to introduce there old stuff because they quickly exploded then and on because no one really cared or knew about them until you heard "Give it Away". I assume that's the reason for this compilation that there's only one song from Blood Sugar Sex Magik and that's "Under the Bridge". It's packed with eighteen songs, almost seventy minutes. I got this for so cheap as well and it was brand new. Bro I scored..and Chili Peppers drummer looks exactly like Will Ferrell. Songs to check out "Fight Like a Brave", "Higher Ground" and "Johnny, Kick a Hole in the Sky".
