Product Description
CD Description
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note by Brett Anderson, along with all the lyrics, hand-written lyric drafts and tape boxes, and previously unpublished photos from the collections of both the band and their friends.

Suede were the first band I really got into in a obsessive teenage way and this was one of the first albums that I listened to almost on a loop when I bought it from boots on cassette. Having said that I'd never got round to buying it on cd, so the enticing extras were really just an excuse to buy back a piece of my lost youth. Enough has been written about the first incarnation of suede and this album to fill a very large whole so most people will be reading this to get an idea of the extras.
The demoes are really for completists only, as the arrangements haven't changed significantly they are really just lower fidelity/sloppier versions of the real thing, worth a listen but you wont find yourself replaying them a lot. Cd2 is really where it starts to get interesting with the inclusion of all the b-sides, sure many us have sci-fi lullabies but it's nice to have them all in the one place and a couple of them where vinyl only and I don't think they were on the b-sides collection(dolly and painted people?). There is a nice piano version of my insatiable one that I don't remember having heard before and a butler penned instrumental.
Disc 3 has love and poison on dvd for the first time and the amazingly agressive f-you of a performance of animal nitrate at the brits, the camera takes in the crowd at the end, the bemused look on many of their faces is priceless. The leadmill gig is great but grainy document of the band at their sweaty peak and well worth a watch. The interview with Brett and Bernard is a real treat, mainly because in the interview footage from around the release of the album Bernard was painfully shy and Brett was slightly annoying so it's really nice to see them discussing the album in a more coherent way.

With so many bands re-releasing their 'remastered' back catalogue with a couple of bonus tracks and extra liner notes, it's hard not to feel like you're being fleeced for albums you already own. Not so with this amazing 3 disc version of Suede's self titled début.
Packed full of b-sides, demos and unreleased recordings, the 2 CDs give a comprehensive introduction to the group who were named 'The Best New Band in Britain'. After a few listens, I actually prefer some of the demo versions to the finished album recordings...the 'Island Demo' version of Metal Mickey is brilliantly ragged. I would have loved the inclusion of 'Be My God' and those other very early demos, maybe they'll surface in the future....
The DVD features 2 live concert recordings: a raw and exhilarating gig filmed in Sheffield, and the overproduced but still interesting 'Love and Poison' filmed at Brixton Academy. Also included are promo videos and a great interview with Brett and Bernard.
This 3 disc deluxe edition isn't just great value for money, it's a worthy celebration of an inspired album, and a perfect example of how reissues should be. Morrisey, Marr, I hope you're paying attention....

When I first heard about the Edsel Suede reissues, the thing I was sold on the the inclusion of "Love & Poison" on the DVD. Then I saw the packaging and thought "Nice!"... OK, I've got "Sci-Fi Lullabies", I don't need the b-sides and the thing is, anyone interested enough to buy these re-issues has probably already got that wonderful b-sides compilation album (and if they haven't, they can get it cheaply on eBay, like I did.)
Nevertheless, ordered the debut and "Dog Man Star" straight away.
I ignored the CDs first off and went straight to the DVD for the debut. Another camcorder show just like the one that disappointed me on the "Dog Man Star" reissue which arrived first. Except this one has quite good sound and is generally quite a good show, exciting and makes you wish you'd been old enough to see Suede in 1993.
The promos videos were all good but I already have the "Lost In TV" DVD.
Then "Love & Poison". Seems to have come from a VHS, just like my own copy I own! Hmm, isn't there a master out there for this?! Anyway, good show, good sound, as good as we'll get for now... EXCEPT there's a problem. Watching "Love & Poison", halfway through I realised the audio and video were drifting VERY out of sync with each other. Many others on forums have noticed this and the blame seems to lie with the fact that all this video was recorded on PAL and Edsel, trying to capture as much of a market as possible converted the whole lot to NTSC... and whichever methods they used to do this resulted in this huge flaw. I can't even watch it the sync is so far out. Thanks Edsel for screwing over both your markets by
On a positive note the albums sounds nice remastered. It's louder anyway. The interesting Island and Rocking Horse demos are mostly from cassette copies by the sound (tape wobble, dropouts and all) of it and not master tapes. Do the master tapes exist? I don't know.
Then, like a previous reviewer, why didn't they mop up those really early unreleased tracks such as "Be My God", "Art" and the early demos? Well, Suede had nearly all 500 copies of the "Be My God/Art" single destroyed at the time because they weren't happy. I don't think they would've liked their inclusion on this reissue. Personally, that approach just makes you feel like the reissues are halfway done.
So, I'm off to contact Edsel/Demon about the audio sync issue on the DVD. I suggest anyone else that cares enough does the same until they are forced to correct this, free of charge. Such a missed opportunity for such a brilliant debut album.

Now That's What I Call Suede!
This is a great deluxe edition and puts recent reissues by the likes of Queen to shame. For under a tenner, it doesn't get much better than this.
