Drive-Thru Booty is the debut album by British band Freak Power, fronted by musician, record producer and songwriter Norman Cook (later known as Fatboy Slim), singer, songwriter and trombone player Ashley Slater and vocalist Jesse Graham. It was released in April 1994.
Singles
The album includes the singles "Turn On, Tune In, Cop Out", which originally reached number 29 in the UK Singles Chart in 1993, and "Rush", which reached number 62 in 1994. "Turn On, Tune In, Cop Out" was re-released in early 1995 and became a much bigger hit when it reached number 3 in the UK Singles Chart.
Critical reception
John Perry from NME wrote that the album "is damn near the greatest fancy dress-party album... ever. It's a brilliant collection of uplifting smiley grooves [...] Drive Thru Booty is simply pure glittery pop, as smooth and shiny as Kojak in a pink turtleneck." The Guardian deemed it "wonderful, funky, drive-by, bubblegum pop."
