Red Hot Chili Peppers EP The Abbey Road E.P. album cover | |||||||||||||||
The Abbey Road is an EP by Red Hot Chili Peppers, released in 1988 through EMI America. Out of the five tracks included on this EP, four had already been previously-released on the band's studio albums. The only new track is a cover of the song "Fire" by Jimi Hendrix, which would become the last song recorded by the original Red Hot Chili Peppers line-up, before the tragic death of guitarist Hillel Slovak due to a heroin overdose, and drummer Jack Irons' subsequent departure as a result of the loss. "Fire", however, would be later included once again on the band's next studio album Mother's Milk - the first to feature the new and current line-up of John Frusciante on guitar and Chad Smith on drums.
The title and cover was a tribute of The Beatles' famous album Abbey Road. Like the Beatles, the cover depicts the four bandmembers walking across a zebra crossing in single file, the twist being that they are all naked except for socks covering their groins. Wearing only socks in this manner was something they regularly employed in their stage shows at the time. The cover is frequently cited as the only reason why one would want the EP. Track listing: 1. "Fire" (Hendrix) – 2:02 2. "Backwoods" (Flea/Irons/Anthony Kiedis/Slovak) – 3:06 3. "Catholic School Girls Rule" (Flea/Kiedis/Martinez) – 1:57 4. "Hollywood (Africa)" (The Meters) – 5:04 5. "True Men Don't Kill Coyotes" (Flea/Kiedis/Martinez/Sherman) – 3:38 | |||||||||||||||
