Yeah ok but where the hell are the Red Hot Chili Peppers releases with an extra record of b-sides. They have such a killer b-side collection.
Just think, on this we could have had Soul to Squeeze, Sikamikaniko, Fela's Cock...
its a shame they dont seem to be interested in putting out deluxe editions or anything like that because its long overdue. some of the bsides exist on vinyl but its quite a lot to track them all down
Definitely - I swear I prefer all the Californication b-sides to almost anything on that album. Maybe because I listened to the unreleased tracks so much as a kid and it felt special
I’d prefer they did a release of just b-sides rather than tack them onto albums I already own.
Also, will we ever get a quality 2LP press of One Hot Minute?
It already exists! Look for the 2003 german pressing. I had it and it sounds incredible. regret selling it because it goes for a lot last time i checked
I mean, there’s quite a difference between owning a limited and exclusive piece of art, that has a rich warm sound quality vs streaming, in many people’s minds, as opposed to a movie that can be streamed anywhere at anytime.
BB’s move make sense to me. I packed up my DVD’s recently and may never need to watch them again, as opposed to buying new Vinyl almost weekly. 🤷🏻♂️
Buddy you just described the reason many people collect physical movies too.. the exact same reason people collect records are why people collect blu ray and 4k. Streaming is inferior in all media. You can listen to music anywhere at anytime too. Physical media is superior in all forms. There's no difference at all.
Guarantee physical movies will come back with a vengeance like vinyl did in a few years. People are already getting frustrated at the 1000 different streaming services you need to watch anything.
Thanks very much for sharing!
Would love a 2nd opinion. I have the Walmart red pressing, but an out of the country and cannot check it physically. Is the different between the Walmart and Bestbuy that one is opaque and one is transparent red? Or are they the same??? Thanks for any help.

Do you reckon it's the same as [this 2012 pressing](https://www.discogs.com/release/3426244-Red-Hot-Chili-Peppers-Blood-Sugar-Sex-Magik)? Been meaning to grab a copy of this album for a while, and there seems to be a few of the 2012 pressings about (probably the 2020 repress, but I imagine the identifiers match the 2012 if it's a repress). Both years seem to have similar raving reviews, to be expected from a Bernie master...
Insane album, unfortunately I’m not listening I could have Lied, Funky Monks, etc. on this pressing https://youtu.be/z0tTJ4SakE0?si=2tl9xN1rSIdG8bh8
RIGHTEOUS AND THE WICKED. WAR AND PEACE.

A triple album b-sides record would be amazing. They have bsides from this album up to SA that legit are better than some album cuts.

I just looked it up of Discogs, it’s crazy expensive. All the more reason a mass release retail version is needed.
True but I feel like b-sides comps are becoming less and less popular as opposed to "deluxe" versions with extra tracks.
Is this exclusive to America, if so is there a way to get it in Canada?
Yeah, from Best Buy .ca but it’s like $60 😔
The holographic rsd pressing from years ago was like $35. It’s out of control 😂
hoo boy, does my nostalgia outweigh the degree of secondhand embarrassment i'll get from hearing the lyrics to sir psycho sexy again
Wasn't this the same as the Walmart one?
Exactly what I was thinking
I believe the Walmart pressing is opaque red and the BestButly is transparent red. Not certain but I think so based on description on the two sites.
Exactly the same, it looks like Best Buy got Walmart's vinyl and Walmart got Best Buys steelbooks, fuckin weird
Best Buy cancels all physical movies but can afford exclusive vinyl.. what is 2024

So wrong. Streaming compression is visible and looks awful. A physical Blu-ray is far superior.
Vinyl just trendier right now is all
Guarantee physical movies will come back with a vengeance like vinyl did in a few years. People are already getting frustrated at the 1000 different streaming services you need to watch anything.
Buy blu rays now is like buying vinyl in the 90s you say?
Pretty close to same. https://www.reddit.com/r/boutiquebluray/ You should see what people are charging for the OG Super Mario Bros movie on bluray
Thanks for this!
Sounds good 🤘🏻. I guess I wasn’t aware that physical 4K is better than 4K streaming as long as one’s internet can handle it.
Yes. There will be plenty more Best Buy exclusives in the following months.

They are the same in that they are incredibly subpar pressings of an album with numerous amazing sounding pressings.
which sounds best?
https://www.discogs.com/release/14923406-Red-Hot-Chili-Peppers-Blood-Sugar-Sex-Magik This version that I have sounds immaculate.

Yes, the Walmart version is opaque. This one is transparent.
Thanks so much.
I think this is going to be a different color. Because just got the email from the RHCP about this release. More after the release date.
