Poland, Ukraine, Bulgaria and Russia were all countries that released lots of tapes in the early to mid 90s.

The label released around 5000 titles between 1996 and 2001.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers Hit Collection is a compelling listen, culling tracks from the band’s 1987 album The Uplift Mofo Party Plan to their big seller Californication in 1999. The tracks here are all hits, including such stellar singles as Give It Away, Under The Bridge and Frusciante’s first single after his phoenix-like resurrection from heroin addiction, Scar Tissue. Hit Collection portrays the band as one of the most consistently brilliant groups of its generation. Helping to paint this picture are such solid cuts as the group’s searing, albeit overplayed, 1989 cover of Stevie Wonder’s Higher Ground as well as its rarely available addition to the Bevis And Butthead movie soundtrack, Love Rollercoaster. Not surprisingly, My Friends and Aerosplane are the sole cuts to make it from the band’s disappointing one-off effort with Jane’s Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro, One Hot Minute. Overall this is an enjoyable and most consistently listenable Chili Pepper release.
