Kettle Whistle is a compilation album by alternative rock band Jane's Addiction, released November 4, 1997, on Warner Bros.
Issued to coincide with the 1997 "Relapse" tour, the album – originally titled It's My Party[9] – includes new, alternate, unreleased and live tracks.
Certified gold in the U.S., for sales in excess of 500,000, Kettle Whistle is the only Jane's release to feature Flea on bass (he plays trumpet on Nothing's Shocking).
When asked about the material on the album in a November 1997 Guitar World interview, Dave Navarro stated, "Almost all of it was chosen by Stephen [Perkins] who is, like, the Jane’s Addiction archivist.
He put together what he thought was a nice, well-rounded ensemble of live stuff, studio outtakes, remixes, demos and things that never made it to record.
