Fatboy Slim has launched a twenty fifth anniversary reissue of his seminal album ‘You’ve Come A Long Way, Baby’ to have fun National Album Day right now (October 14).
The reissue is a part of an unique record of restricted version albums reissued particularly for National Album Day. This 12 months’s occasion, which is organised by the BPI and is now in its sixth version, is themed round large albums from the ’90s.
For its sixth 12 months, the annual occasion commemorating the album as an artwork kind is specializing in albums from the ’90s and to have fun, quite a few large albums for the last decade are getting particular restricted version reissues.
The album was remastered at Abbey Road Studios at half-speed for one of the best audio high quality potential.
Reflecting on the landmark anniversary, Fatboy Slim mentioned: “I’m still surprised and gladdened by the response that ‘You’ve Come A Long Way, Baby’ has had. I didn’t see it going global, I thought it was a very ‘English’ sounding record. I definitely did not imagine people would still be talking about it 25 years later. I remember saying as much at the time! Thank you to everyone to has enjoyed it over the years.”
‘You’ve Come A Long Way, Baby’ spawned the singles ‘Rockafeller Skank’, ‘Gangster Trippin’, ‘Praise You’ and ‘Right Here Right Now’, all of which reached the Top 10. The producer earned a BRIT Award for Best Producer and two additional nominations, for Male Solo Artist and British Single.
