Fatboy Slim: You’ve Come A Long Way Baby (180g, Import) Vinyl 2LP

Description

1998 smash from Fatboy Slim! You’ve come a Long Way, Baby is a benchmark big beat album that played a significant role for the genre’s success in the mainstream, and here is the 20th anniversary pressing of the 11-tracker. “The Rockafeller Skank,” “Right Here, Right Now,” and “Praise You” are the obvious picks, but Norman Cook’s signature recipe of crunchy drum breaks and ear-worm hooks keep the energy high through the rest of the LP, peep “Love Island” and the amusingly repetitive “In Heaven.”
