"Fire/Jericho" is the third single released by the British electronica/rave act The Prodigy on 7 September 1992. It peaked at number eleven on the UK Singles Chart.
The single was sub-titled "Strangely Limited Edition" due to the 12" vinyl record being deleted after two weeks. This was to move the focus over to the release of the debut album, Experience, following a few weeks later. Even when the single was re-released, the subtitle was still standing.
The song uses the sample "I am the god of Hell fire, and I bring you (fire)" from The Crazy World of Arthur Brown's 1968 single "Fire". It takes the sampled vocal "When I was a youth I used to burn collie weed in a Rizla" from the track "Hard Times" by Pablo Gad. It also uses an interpolation of the distinct melody in "Kunta Kinte" by the Revolutionaries.

1992!? Wow. What a classic.

Originally Prodigy was an innovative,original,artistical
ly extraordinary and generally genius electronic music act that all the misfits listened to;the in-crowd didn't even know about them !Then they released all that 'Fat Of The Land' rubbish and not only did their whole style deteriorate but they went all trendy! Liam composing peculiar sounds to create otherworldly intoxicating atmospheres was replaced with swearing down microphones to give suburban kids a chance to get equal with the chavs ! -

This was one of the first tapes I ever bought. It's really no wonder I turned out like I did. I blame the 90's.
