Red Hot Chili Peppers - By The Way (Vinyl 2LP)

Originally released in 2002, By The Way sees Red Hot Chili Peppers pivot toward a more melodic, introspective sound, expanding beyond their funk-rock roots into lush harmonies, layered arrangements and emotionally driven songwriting. It’s a warm, expansive record that highlights the band’s growth and musical maturity, with John Frusciante’s guitar work playing a central, expressive role.

Featuring standout tracks such as “By The Way”, “Can’t Stop”, “The Zephyr Song”, “Universally Speaking” and “Dosed”, the album balances upbeat, sun-soaked energy with reflective and tender moments. By The Way remains one of the band’s most beloved releases, praised for its cohesion, depth and timeless feel.

Pressed across two vinyl LPs, this edition spreads the album over four sides, allowing the dense harmonies and dynamic shifts to breathe on vinyl. Supplied brand new and sealed, it’s an essential addition for Red Hot Chili Peppers fans and modern alternative rock vinyl collections.
