The Dirtchamber Sessions Volume One


Prodigy Present: The Dirtchamber Sessions Volume One is a 1999 solo mix album by Liam Howlett of The Prodigy, initially produced for BBC Radio 1's mix show The Breezeblock.
There are more than 48 tunes from many artists mixed, scratched and cut. The album came about as a result of a 1998 guest DJ appearance by Howlett on Mary Anne Hobbs's Breezeblock show on BBC Radio 1, producing a similar set.
In a bid to stop popular bootleg copies of the show, an official album was released, essentially an extended version of the Breezeblock mix. The two mixes are not exactly the same as permission to use certain tracks was not forthcoming. Most notable is the removal of The Beatles' "Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band", which was also left off The Chemical Brothers' but was included in the earlier promo release, Radio 1 Anti-Nazi Mix.
