Better Living Through Chemistry is the first album by Fatboy Slim. It was released in 1996. It has the same name as the DuPont advertising slogan "Better Living Through Chemistry".
The founder of Skint Records, Damian Harris, has described the album as having been 'more of a compilation than an album', as some of the tracks had been recorded some time previous to its release, due to Norman Cook's other musical projects.
The album cover features a 3.5-inch floppy disk, paying homage to Blue Monday by New Order, which featured a 5.25-inch disk.
It should be noted that the track listings here are for the United States release on Astralwerks, and not the original on Skint Records which excludes the final two tracks listed here.
