25 years since this legendary Big Beat album was released. Happy 25th anniversary The Fat Of The Land. Always the classic of legendary The Prodigy.

i thought there was crab rave on this tbh when i first got it. i was like yeaaahhh meme song....but no the meme song isnt on here, but what a banger album i have gone acrossed tho....better than meme song so 10/10 ign

From 1996 to 2000 I was working in a record store. As a rule, as "subculture heads" we were allowed to order and sell what our proposed target client (from our very personal understanding) would like to pick and buy.
At that time, in general another Prodigy album was mutually anticipated. Instead, a bunch of singles/EPs were published what served excellently but made us guess: if it weren't half of the tracks known already the album itself would be considered a masterpiece. Still, I have no idea why they published so many wonderful tracks before making this album available...

Mine has the same run outs as both 2012 pressings but no mention of 'made in___' either on the records or above the barcode. It has theprodigy.com rather than .co.uk below the barcode. Doesn't seem to be the same as any other edition on here. PRODIGY THE FAT OF THE LAND XLLP 121 on spine. Anyone know which this is? Bootleg?

So good. The pitchfork review was one of the worst things I've ever read, and just made me love the album even more tbh
referencing The Fat Of The Land (2×LP, Album) XLLP 121
hello I wanted crab rave on vinyl but i listened to both of the vinyls and none of them have crab rave i even listened to both sides did i do something wrong?
I'm going to repeat the consensus and say this pressing is perfection. As good as this music is ever gonna sound, and, yes, blows the CD out of the water. And I'm something of an authority there because I played the shit out of that CD in my room as a kid.

Could I trouble someone to grab me a picture of the spine and the label on the record please? I have what I believe to be the first press, but the matrix doesn't match 100%. I therefore want to confirm that it definitely isn't this release.
Thanks.
Thanks.
