In 1989, the Red Hot Chili Peppers released their album called 'Mother's Milk'. It was the first to feature drummer Chad Smith (who's been there ever since), and guitarist John Frusciante. Frusciante left a couple of times, but always returned, and is still in the band right now! The album is an alternative rock masterpiece, and gave us a few hits, including "Higher Ground", "Knock Me Down", "Fire", and "Sexy Mexican Maid". The third single released is a song called "Taste the Pain".


"Taste the Pain" got released on 7", 12", and a wild SQUARE shaped single! It's great, and is a 7" single on a square shaped record. It contains three total tracks: "Taste the Pain", "Show Me Your Soul", and "Castles Made of Sand" (the live version). Second and third tracks were unreleased at the time. This is a limited edition collectible.


The jacket looks pretty good, with some shelf-wear on each corner. The vinyl itself has light surface marks on it, but nothing too bad. No deep scratches, gouges, or scuffs. This is also numbered, and is number 0678. A very cool Chili Peppers collectible, from 1990, with a unique square shape!


I'll also add the 2017 Record Store Day release of the 12" picture disc of the single "Go Robot", taken from their 2016 album 'The Getaway'. That album was the last one with guitarist Josh Klinghoffer (before the return of John Frusciante), and the first without producer Rick Rubin (that was their producer for 25 years)! They went with Danger Mouse this time. The "Go Robot" picture disc had a limited run of less than 5000 copies, is 180 gram vinyl, and they also had an error on the record itself. The word samurai is spelled sumarai on the record. Corrected on the hype sticker. Warner offered a free copy to anyone who bought this. So of course I have a free, corrected copy! Bought new, and never sealed, but NEVER OPENED or PLAYED! In original PVC jacket, with hype sticker.


Last, I'll kick in the 2006 single from the double album 'Stadium Arcadium', called "Snow ((Hey Oh))", on a very cool 7" picture disc! The A side is the boys in drag, and from left to right is: Flea, Anthony Kiedas, John Frusciante, and Chad Smith. Some of the ugliest women I've ever seen (Lol just kidding, guys! We love you all, no matter WHAT you guys are wearing)!


A really awesome early 90s rare square single, a 12" picture disc from 2017, (with a spelling error), and a 7" picture disc by one of the greatest bands to have ever rocked the world, the Red Hot Chili Peppers! Grab this Chili Peppers triple shot before someone else beats you to it, and they're gone forever!
