'Suede' was the fastest-selling debut album ever in the UK, and went on to win 1993's Mercury Music Prize. This deluxe re-mastered edition features all the non-album b-sides, as well as demos and a DVD of rare footage.
Named in 2010 as the best debut album of 1993 by the NME, 'Suede' was the fastest-selling debut album ever in the UK, and went on to win 1993's Mercury Music Prize. This deluxe re-mastered edition features all the non-album b-sides, as well as demos from the collections of Brett Anderson and Bernard Butler, including two previously unreleased songs.
The DVD features the newly-discovered and previously-unseen exciting footage of the band at The Leadmill in Sheffield in February 1993, filmed between the recording and the release of the debut album. The bonus feature is a February 2011 interview with Brett and Bernard about the making of the album, along with a short film put together by Simon Gilbert from his own contemporary camcorder footage.
The booklet contains a specially-written note by Brett Anderson, along with all the lyrics, hand-written lyric drafts and tape boxes, and previously unpublished photos from the collections of both the band and their friends.
"Borrowing heavily from David Bowie and the Smiths, Suede forge a distinctively seductive sound on their eponymous album. Guitarist Bernard Butler has a talent for crafting effortlessly catchy, crunching glam hooks like the controlled rush of "Metal Mickey" and the slow, sexy grind of "The Drowners," but he also can construct grand, darkly romantic soundscapes like the sighing "Sleeping Pills" and the tortured "Pantomime Horse." What brings these elegant sounds to life is Brett Anderson, who invests them with bed-sit angst and seamy sex. Anderson's voice is calculatedly affected and theatrical, but it fits the grand emotion of his self-consciously poetic lyrics. Suede are working-class lads striving for glamour, and they achieve it by piecing together remnants of the past with pieces of the present, never forgetting the value of a strong hook in the process. And while the sound of Suede frequently recalls the peak of glam rock, its punk-influenced passion and self-conscious appropriation of the past make it thoroughly postmodern. Coincidentally, its embrace of trashy pop helped usher in an era of Britpop, but few bands captured the theatrical melancholy that gave Suede such resonance."
