I'm Beside You^[1] is a double vinyl LP by American rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers that was exclusively released on Black Friday, November 29, 2013 for Record Store Day. The LP compiles all seventeen songs from the band's I'm with You Sessions which were released in 2012-2013 on 7" vinyl and digital download and were originally recorded for the band's tenth studio album, I'm with You. Like the 7" singles, the LP version was mastered by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering.^[2]

Klinghoffer has stated that the songs were recorded during the album sessions for I'm with You; however, in 2012 and 2013 the band went back for some post-session work on some of the songs.^[3]
