This is rather stripped down compared to WhoSampled, which says that at least three tracks were sampled.
On a similar but more impressive note, if you can find the album-by-album analyses of Prodigy's and Fatboy Slim's records, you might be surprised as to how much they borrowed from seventies' funk — even though Liam Howlett grew up on hiphop and alt-rock, as evidenced by his 'The Dirtchamber Sessions Volume One'. Howlett switched more to eighties-nineties' hiphop and house on the second album 'Music for the Jilted Generation', which of course sounded much darker, but went back to the seventies on 'The Fat of the Land', even though the overall atmosphere isn't much better.
There are also interviews of Norman Cook in his (presumably) home studio, where he has entire walls of shelves filled with old vinyls. Which is all the more impressive if you realize how little audio Amiga samplers, the go-to machinery in the nineties, could hold in their memory.
