Fatboy Slim / Better Living Through Chemistry / 20th anniversary deluxe

fatboy_bltc

2CD and double coloured vinyl

Next month, Norman Cook alter ego Fatboy Slim‘s debut album, Better Living Through Chemistry, will be reissued exactly 20 years after its original 1996 release.

The long-player (which got its title from a variation of American conglomerate Du Pont’s advertising slogan, “Better Things for Better Living…Through Chemistry”) was issued on independent dance label Skint Records and of course was the precursor to the even bigger follow-up album You’ve Come A Long Way, Baby (issued in 1998).

This new two-CD deluxe edition offers a whole disc of bonus tracks including “recordings from the Fatboy vaults that have never been released before”, the two bonus tracks (Michael Jackson and Next To Nothing) included on the original US release and Japanese extra track Es Paradis. Sleeve notes come courtesy of Skint label founder Damian Harris.

A double LP edition will also be issued pressed on yellow vinyl to mark the 20th anniversary. Both versions are released on 23 September 2016.
