On June 8, 1999, Red Hot Chili Peppers released their seventh studio album, Californication. Produced by Rick Rubin, the album marked the return of guitarist John Frusciante - his first recording with the band since the 1991 album Blood Sugar Sex Magik.

Californication has since become the band's best-selling album, driven by the success of three hit singles: "Scar Tissue" (6x Platinum), "Otherside" (5x Platinum), and "Californication" (6x Platinum). "Scar Tissue" debuted at No.9 on the Billboard Hot 100 and won the Best Rock Song Grammy® Award in 2000. Underlining the strength and depth of the album, "Road Trippin'," "Around The World," and "Parallel Universe" were also released as singles. With over 15 million copies sold globally, the album has recently been certified 8 times Platinum in the US and reached multi-platinum status in several countries, including the UK, Canada, and Australia.

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of this groundbreaking album, a 2-LP limited-edition is being released—one LP pressed on red vinyl and one LP on ocean blue vinyl. The reissue will be available on July 26.
