Special 20th Anniversary Picture Disc Vinyl 2LP Reissue Released As Part of Warner Records' Picture This Series!

Red Hot Chili Peppers' 1999 smash Californication was one of the most anticipated releases in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees' trailblazing career and it saw the group reuniting with both producer Rick Rubin and guitarist John Frusciante, neither of which had been in the fold since their 1991 masterpiece Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magik. The first product of this reunion and revitalization is a highly creative affair which is one of the most melodic, philosophical and song-oriented albums in their vast catalog. The 7x Platinum 15-track collection yielded an assortment of hit singles including "Scar Tissue," "Otherside," and "Californication" to go along with the fan favorites "Around the World," "Road Trippin'" and "Parallel Universe." Californication also marked the beginning of what would become the most stable period of the band's tenure, enduring without another personnel change until 2008.
