The Red Hot Chili Peppers are celebrating their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on Saturday with the release of a special EP with covers of songs by other artists.
The six-track EP will feature songs by Neil Young, The Beach Boys, David Bowie, Iggy Pop, The Ramones and Dion and the Belmonts.
Five of the six tracks have never been available as downloads. A Teenager In Love was released as an international maxi-single; Havana Affair was released as a 7″-single and featured on the compilation We’re A Happy Family: A Tribute To The Ramones; Search & Destroy has only appeared on a now out-of-print maxi-CD, I Get Around was first played during Brian Wilson’s 2005 MusiCares induction speech; and Suffragette City was previously only available as a B-side to the band’s single Aeroplane. Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere was recorded live during Red Hot Chili Peppers’ current tour supporting their album I’m With You.
