{"product_id":"red-hot-chili-peppers_mothers-milk_uni","title":"Mother's Milk","description":"Released on August 16, 1989 on the EMI label, \"Mother's Milk\" is the fourth studio album by American funk rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers. It follows \"The Uplift Mofo Party Plan\", released in 1987 and the only album with the original lineup, guitarist Hillel Slovak having died of a heroin overdose in June 1988 and drummer Jack Irons suffering from depression. Singer Anthony Kiedis and bassist Flea were then joined by guitarist John Frusciante and drummer Chad Smith, with the former significantly influencing the Red Hot Chili Peppers' sound by prioritizing melody over rhythm. In addition to certain songs directly from jam sessions, the album was recorded and produced in several studios in Los Angeles under the direction of Michael Beinhorn, whose determination to release a hit song and desires regarding guitar effects eventually deteriorated his relationship with the musicians. Carried by its singles \"Knock Me Down\" and \"Higher Ground\" (a Stevie Wonder cover), but very poorly received by critics, the album proved to be the band's biggest commercial success at the time with 500,000 sales in the United States in six months, becoming the Red Hot Chili Peppers' first gold record. Accompanied by an eighteen-month tour, during which the Red Hot Chili Peppers played in North America, Europe, and Japan, and during which they had several run-ins with the law, \"Mother's Milk\" marked a turning point in their career, elevating them from unknown local success to the best band on the West Coast at the time.","brand":"Red Hot Chili Peppers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55314197643608,"sku":null,"price":20210723.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/5099969817212_b2e58ec8-8e89-42cb-bca5-8e98b366380b.jpg?v=1769713230","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/red-hot-chili-peppers_mothers-milk_uni","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
