Today marks 30 years since The Prodigy’s “Breathe”, with XL Recordings celebrating the anniversary with a special 12″ vinyl edition.

The record brings together the original track, an instrumental version and the sought-after remixes by The Glitch Mob and Mefjus & Camo & Krooked. “Breathe” was the second single from The Fat of the Land, giving the band their second consecutive UK number one after “Firestarter”, which XL also marked with its own 30th anniversary vinyl earlier this year. Its Walter Stern-directed video won Viewer’s Choice at the 1997 MTV Video Music Awards and the International Viewer’s Choice award at the MTV Europe Music Awards.

The Fat of the Land went on to sell over 10 million copies worldwide and turns 30 on 28th July 2027. This year, The Prodigy hosted four Warriors Dance events across the UK and Ireland, and they begin a run of European headline dates on 14th November, followed by festival appearances in summer 2027 including Creamfields and Rock am Ring/Rock im Park. Tickets are available here.

The 12″ vinyl edition is released on 13th November and is available to pre-order now here.
