You've Come a Long Way, Baby is the second studio album by Fatboy Slim. It was first released on 19 October 1998 in the United Kingdom by Skint Records and a day later in the United States by Astralwerks. Cook recorded and produced the album at his home studio in Brighton, known as the House of Love,[3][4] using an Atari ST computer, Creator software, and floppy disks.[5][6] The photo on the album cover was originally taken at the 1983 Fat Peoples Festival in Danville, Virginia; for the North American release, the album cover was changed to an image of shelves stacked with records.

You've Come a Long Way, Baby proved to be Cook's global breakthrough album,[3] peaking at number one on the UK Albums Chart and number 34 on the US Billboard 200.[7] Praised by critics for its sound and style, the album brought international attention to Cook, earning him a Brit Award in 1999,[8] and was later certified four times platinum by the BPI and platinum by the RIAA. Four singles were released from the album: "The Rockafeller Skank", "Gangster Tripping", "Praise You", and "Right Here, Right Now", all of which peaked within the top ten on the UK Singles Chart.[9] "Build It Up – Tear It Down" was also released as a promotional single.[citation needed]
