Release date: 23-01-2009 (originally released in 1987) 2009 Capitol limited edition 12-track vinyl live LP pressed on 180gram VINYL, originally released in 1987 -The Uplift Mofo Party Plan, producer Michael Beinhorn (Soundgarden, Hole) helped the Chili Peppers incorporate more of a hard-rock approach to their already rich blend of funk and punk. This would be the best and unfortunately final album to feature the Kiedis/Flea/Slovak/Irons lineup as Slovak died from a drug overdose in 1988, and Irons exited soon after, turning up several years later as the drummer for Pearl Jam. - Sealed in picture sleeve. Tracks: 01. Fight Like A Brave 02. Funky Crime 03. Me And My Friends 04. Backwoods 05. Skinny Sweaty Man 06. Behind The Sun 07. Subterranean Homesick Blues 08. Special Secret Song Inside 09. No Chump Love Sucker 10. Walkin' On Down The Road 11. Love Trilogy 12. Organic Anti-Beat Box Band In a perfect world, the Red Hot Chili Peppers' breakthrough album wouldn't have been 1989's Mother's Milk, but 1987's The Uplift Mofo Party Plan, and the history of this groundbreaking rock/rap band (and likely the entire subgenre it created) would've been drastically changed. But the Chili Peppers created most of the imperfections in their world, especially in the late '80s, and the unusual scenario of four original band members recording together for the first time on that band's third album would tragically prove to be a one-shot deal.
