Fatboy Slim's debut album, "Better Living Through Chemistry," is marking its 30th anniversary with a reissue on digital platforms starting September 25, 2023, through BMG. Special edition LP and CD versions will be released on October 2nd. Although it peaked at No. 69 on the Official UK Albums Chart, the album launched Fatboy Slim's career and set the stage for his future successes, including the 1998 hit "You’ve Come A Long Way Baby," which topped the UK charts.
Cook, the man behind Fatboy Slim, explains that the album was an exploration of dancefloor, bedroom, and afterparty music. Created during his Big Beat Boutique club nights in Brighton, the cover art pays homage to New Order's "Blue Monday" and technological advancements in electronic music. Cook, known for his diverse music projects, expresses amazement at the ongoing discovery and appreciation of "Better Living Through Chemistry" and is glad to give it a new lease on life.
