Here's the latest update to the discography, based on feedback so far.
Thomas and Paul, you might want to check if I did the changes
correctly. (Paul, I'm working on checking out the legitimacy of the
boxed releases)
As always, feedback is appreciated. If you have any of the releases
listed on here (or ones that are not), please check to see if I have
the correct catalog numbers and track listings, if you feel so
inclined.

A1. 04:23 What Evil Lurks
A2. 04:34 We Gonna Rock
B1. 05:03 Android
B2. 03:27 Everybody In The Place
Notes:
The tracks were recorded on a 10 track demo that Liam had
submitted to XL for consideration. The tracks on the
record came directly from the demo tape.
Only 7000 copies pressed. Officially out of print.
Some fake vinyls going around that usually have "Androids"
rather than "Android" in the track listing.
The version of "Everybody In The Place" is a slow hip hop
version, that differs from the versions that appear on the
single and the Experience album.
Reached #30 in the UK Dance charts.
Samples:
What Evil Lurks: vocal sample "What Evil Lurks in the
hearts of men" is taken from the 40's radio series "The
Shadow"
We Gonna Rock: vocal sample "We Gonna Rock" is from
Public Enemy's "Fight The Power".

?
7" : 1991 UK (XL XLS 21)
A. 03:38 Charly (Alley Cat Mix 7" Edit)
B. 03:56 Charly (Original Mix)
Notes:
"Your Love (The Original Version)" is the same as the
subsequently released "Your Love (The Original Excursion)"
found on the US Charly/EITP single.
The pressing plates for the 12" have been lost.
This single reached #3 in the UK singles chart, and #1 in
the UK dance chart.
This single was heavily slagged by the UK magazine 'Mixmag'
for using the Charly sample and starting the wave of kids
show sampling in dance music.
Samples:
Charly: Samples Charly the Cat voiced by late comedian
Kenny Everett), a cartoon character from 70's era of
British television that indoctrinated children with all
sort of ideas like "don't speak to strangers" and what
not. The novelty of the Charly sample is probably lost on
people who did not grow up in the UK. The idea of
sampling kid shows really caught on after this single,
for instance, the Smart E's sampled 'Sesame Street' for
"Sesame's Treet".
The break in Charly is from "Radio Babylon" by Meat Beat
Manifesto, and the main synth line is nicked from "Mentasm"
by Second Phase (AKA Joey Beltram).

publicly that the Prodigy's track "Smack My Bitch Up" from
'The Fat Of The Land' is indefensible and that it promotes
violence towards women. This is coming from an artist who
did a remake of a track called "That's When I Reach For My
Revolver"
"G-Force (Part 1)" is the same as "G-Force (Energy Flow)"
on the UK "Everybody in the Place" single.

The intro to "The Heat" starts at the end of the
"Speedway" for some strange reason.
The extra tracks on the Japanese release can be found on
other singles.
A track called "Rhythm, Rhythm, Rhythm (We Eat Rhythms, We
Sleep Rhythms)" didn't make it on the album due to a
misunderstanding of the amount of music Liam could fit on
the CD. It later appeared on the Select magazine tape by
the name "We Eat Rhythms".

Enter" via the postal system.

here is a COMPLETE lack of respect for the law" is taken
from the 197? Burt Reynolds movie 'Smokie and the Bandit'.

Full Throttle: See One Love sample notes.
Voodoo People: The guitar riff (possibly sampled) is from
the song "Very Ape" on Nirvana's album 'In Utero'. The
vocal sample "It's the voodoo who do what you don't dare to
people!" and "Magic People Voodoo People" from "The
Shalimar" by Gylan Kain
The Heat (The Energy): The vocal sample "Can you feel it?
The heat? The energy?" taken from the movie 'Poltergeist
III'.
No Good (Start The Dance): The vocal sample is from "No
Good For Me" by Kelly Charles.
Claustrophobic Sting: Uses the same sample of laughter as
Winx's "Don't Laugh" single (?). The vocal sample of "My
mind is going." (spoken by Hal, the artificially
intelligent computer) is from the movie 2001.

Notes:
The Dust Brothers refer to the UK Dust Brothers, now known

release. The US release, retitled as "(Chemical Brother's
Remix)" is slightly different, because one sample, which
was not cleared, was scrambled on this mix.

subsequently accused of stealing too much from "Poison"
when CJ came out with "Sugar Is Sweeter".
Secret Knowledge Remix is by Kris Needs.
Reached #13 in the UK singles chart.
For this release, Prodigy leaves their US label Elektra
for Mute.

D1: (Same as above track listing)
D2: Fffat's All Folks (Prodigy Interview)
Notes:
The album name is related to the 'rural-ness' of Braintree
and its surrounding area according to Liam Howlett in a
recent interview. This would explain the 'farm'-like
graphical representation.
"Diesel Power" was formerly known as "Blow Your Mind" before
Kool Keith added his rhymes.
The lyrics to "Serial Thrilla" were written by Skunk
Anansie's singer, Skin, and her co-lyricist, Len Arran.
"Mindfields" was originally named "Minefields" on the
abandoned single of the same name.
"Fuel My Fire" is a cover of an L7 song.
Prodigy jumps ship yet again on US distribution. For this
album, they sign with Maverick, a Warner Brothers subsidiary
run by pop singer/artist Madonna.
This album used to be sold at Walmarts and K-Marts (large
department stores in the US) with the edited back cover
artwork replacing the "Bitch" and "Shit" with ant logos.
Under pressure from the National Organization of Women for
the title and lyrics of "Smack My Bitch Up" and after the
discovery of explicit lyrics (no parental advisory label was
originally on the US release), these stores stopped carrying
this album.
The quote on guns and lard in the CD booklet is from German
WW2 Luftwaffe commander Herman Goering.
Contributing Cast:
Kool Keith of Dr. Octagon/Ultramagnetic MC's: Vocals
on "Diesel Power". Also sampled for "Smack My Bitch Up"
Crispian Mills of Kula Shaker: Vocals on "Narayan"
Jim Davies of ? : Guitar on "Smack My Bitch
Up", "Breathe", "Firestarter", "Fuel My Fire"
Gizz Butt of Janus Stark: Live Guitarist
credited in booklet
Shahin Bada: Additional Vocals on "Smack My Bitch Up"
Saffron from Republica/N-Joi: Additional Vocals on "Fuel My Fire"
Samples:
Smack My Bitch Up: vocal sample from Kool Keith rapping
"Give The Drummer Some" by the Ultramagnetic MC's from the
album Critical Breakdown.
Breathe: Sword samples taken from Wu Tang Clan's "Da Mystery
of Shadowboxin" from the album '36 chambers' who probably
originally sampled it from somewhere else (uncredited)
Funky Shit: vocal sample by Ad-Roc from The Beastie Boys'
"Root Down" from the album 'Ill Communication'. Sample of
"2-3 Break" by the B-Boys. Sample from "Theme To Swat".
Serial Thrilla: samples guitar in "Selling Jesus" by Skunk
Anansie.
Firestarter: uses a wah-wah guitar sample from the Breeder's
"SOS. "Hey Hey" sample from The Art Of Noise's "Close To
The Edit"
Climbatize: uses a sample from The Egyptian Empire's "Horn
Track". The Jedi Nights tried to sue Liam for stealing the
drum-beat from one of their songs, but later repented when it
was pointed out that their drum-beat was stolen anyway. A
sample was recycled from Prodigy's own "Rat Poison".
Who Does Vocals:
Smack My Bitch Up: Kool Keith of Dr. Octagon/Ultramagnetic
MC's via a sample. Additional vocals by Shahin Bada.
Breathe: Keith Flint and Maxim Reality.
Diesel Power: Kool Keith of Dr. Octagon.
Funky Shit: Ad-Rock of the Beastie Boys via a sample.

04:46 Smack My Bitch Up (Radio Edit)
04:44 No Man Army featuring Tom Morello
Notes:
See notes on The Fat Of The Land concerning "Smack My Bitch
Up". The radio edit subtlety demphasizes the word "bitch"
in the Kool Keith vocal sample, as well as shortens the
song.
Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine contributes guitar
to No Man Army. The same track with vocals by Maxim
exists, and it's called "One Man Army" and can be found on
the Spawn soundtrack.
This single reached #8 in the UK singles chart.
One track that almost made it was the "Smack My Bitch Up
(Jonny L Remix)", which was featured in the CD for Musik
magazine (Issue 32 Jan 1998). This track can also be found
on the London Underground Vinyls.

The Prodigy: Evolution Documentary
[1997] long video
VHS PAL : 1997 UK (Visual Corporation Ltd VSL 0199)
VHS NTSC : 1997 US (Caroline Imports R-3975)
50 minutes
Notes:
Unauthorized. The Prodigy themselves have condemned this
video as 'worthless'.
Band interviews throughout 10 year career; also interviews
with people who knew them in early days.
The video is pretty poor value as it's padded out with a
lot of irreverent talk. They even stick in a 4 minute clip
of snowboarding in there.

The Prodigy: Poison
[1994?]
? : ?
Director: Walter Stern?

Notes:
Features Liam pretending to play real drums. Keith Flint is
his freaky self, although with long hair, pretending to vomit
mud. Maxim Reality sings and wears his devil eye contacts.

Prodigy: Firestarter
[1996]

Director: Walter Stern?

Notes:
US Breakthrough video. Filmed in an abandoned subway
tunnel. Displays Keith Flint's double mohawk haircut and
his new tongue piercings.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Prodigy: Breathe
[1997]
VHS: Promo
1. Breathe
Directed by Walter Stern?
Another video that went into high rotation on US MTV. Takes
place in an apparently dilapidated house. Keith wears a
black leather jacket with no shirt on underneath to display
his "Inflicted" tattoo. Maxim goes shirtless, and wears his
devil eye contacts.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Prodigy: Smack My Bitch Up
[1997]
VHS: Promo
1. Smack My Bitch Up
Directed by Swedish directory Jonas Ackermann.
This video doesn't feature the group at all, other than the
music, and the ant logo tattoos at the very end. Instead, it
is shot from the point of view of an English club goer that
drinks, does drugs, fondles women, gets into fights, drinks,
breaks a DJ's record and turntable, drinks, goes to a
stripper club, picks up a dancer, and has sex. At the end,
you discover that the instigator of all this is a woman.
Features full nudity. Surprisingly, MTV Europe and even MTV
US had the guts to show the video late night, although with
some frosting out of the naked women's vulva.

The Prodigy: Inflicted
Notes:
The 'Inflicted' album was a hoax set up by Tobi Wood during
the 'countdown' to 'The Fat Of The Land'. Tobi was pissed off
with having CD bootleg pirates ripping off his site, so he set
about forging an album called Inflicted, which featured mostly
real existing tracks, except for 'Salvationed Army', 'In The
Beginning' and a fake 'Benny Blanco', composed (very well) by
Tobi himself. Even the artwork (a briefcase full of drugs
syringes) was fake.

Not sure if it's really Simone Berryman, but to my knowledge she
hasn't done any work for MTV so far.. What I found odd was that the
sample source was supposedly Simone Angel.. That just doesn't make
sense.

I've stated my view on this box set. I seriously doubt it's official,
but if it is I can't really understand why anyone would bother to buy
it; It looks shite and has an outrageously high price.

Do you have the side track numbers for the vinyls?
No catalog number, it's called London Underground #1. track 4 reads
The Prodigy - Smack My Bitch Up (unreleased) and is track 2 on the
b-side.
No idea for the correct release date, but it was released in 97.

Small typo. It should read: Secret Knowledge Trouser Rouser.
It's the same mix as the Secret Knowledge remix on US Voodoo People.

It is odd for Prodigy to pick someone as cheesy as that, but then

It could be.. but I not paying $27.89 plus postage and handling to

So was the Simone sample. I don't think she normally sings at that

Well, I can't say for sure. I don't think it's Simone Berryman.
But the only Simone from MTV is definitely VJ Simone Angel (of Party
Zone and MTV Dance fame).
Anyone got any recollections of the cheesy single she released?
(I know the video)
Oooh...this gives me yet another trivia thing, if Prodge did sample
Simone A.: U2 and Prodigy have both sampled her! (see U2's 'Even
Better Than The Real Thing' video)

No, some toy-figures of:
