You've Come a Long Way, Baby is the second studio album by English electronic music producer Fatboy Slim (Norman Cook).

[7] He loaded these into an Akai S900 sampler connected via MIDI to an Atari ST computer with C-Lab Creator software to record and manipulate the samples.

[7] Through the use of a time-stretch method and collaborating with his mixer/engineer Simon Thornton, Cook compiled the songs at his home studio in Brighton, known as the House of Love.

[9] The cover art, conceived by Red Design, uses a photograph of an obese young man dressed in a T-shirt bearing the words "I'm #1 so why try harder" while holding a cigarette.

[10][11] The photograph was taken at the 1983 Fat People's Festival in Danville, Virginia, and provided by the Rex Features photo library.
