The Red Hot Chili Peppers. Years at EMI (1983 - 1990)

The history of the legendary band The Red Hot Chili Peppers, at first glance, seems to be thoroughly explored and detailed in the pages of official biographies, numerous interviews, and magazine articles.

The author of the book, Maxim Elfimov, set out... to study the history of the early years of The Red Hot Chili Peppers and faced a problem: an absolute shortage of information. Almost all the memories of the participants themselves were limited to chaotic tales of a wild touring life, without any details about their actual creativity. By gathering all the information and communicating with the direct participants of the events, including producer Michael Balzary, who worked on "The Uplift Mofo Party Plan" and "Mother's Milk", former RHCP guitarists Jack Sherman and Dwayne McKnight, as well as current members Flea and Chad Smith, the author created a detailed picture of the early years of the band, dedicating his book directly to the creativity of The Red Hot Chili Peppers rather than their personal lives and bad habits.

From this book, you will learn:
- the history of each song from the first four albums;
- about the creation of vibrant music videos for the band from 1984 to 1990;
- existing versions of the early songs of The Red Hot Chili Peppers;
- about the fascinating and complex process of designing the album covers of the band and much more.
