Two of my favourite songs were released on March 18th, 19 years apart. The Clash issued “White Riot” on 18th March 1977 as their first single for CBS. Then 19 years later, in 1996, the Prodigy released the now iconic “Firestarter”. Seriously where has the time gone as those singles turn 47 and 28 years old respectively!

Did you ever wonder why the Prodigy‘s classic 1997 album ‘The Fat Of The Land‘ had a picture of a crab as it’s cover? Well it was originally going to be a doner kebab on a spit, you know the one that looks like an elephant’s foot. The meat was going to have the album title seared into it. Liam Howlett changed his mind on seeing the picture so XL Records in-house designer Alex Jenkins found the dancing crab photo. He then increased the size of the creature’s left claw to make it seem as if the crab was sticking two fingers up to the world.

I love ‘The Fat Of The Land’ and I also think that the new Prodigy album ‘The Day Is My Enemy’ is bloody good too. What do you think?
