Suede announce 30th anniversary reissue of self-titled debut
Suede have announced details of a new project called ‘Suede30’ – celebrating three decades of their acclaimed self-titled debut.Arriving on July 7 will be special limited edition 30th anniversary releases – offering up their 1993 debut in a newly mixed and mastered format. Containing the fan favourites and era classics ‘Animal Nitrate’, ‘So Young’, ‘The Drowners’ and ‘Metal Mickey’, the LP hit Number One upon first release, selling over 100,000 copies in its first week and becoming the fastest-selling debut album ever in the UK at that time before going on to win the Mercury Music Prize.The band’s glam rock sound and aesthetic – along with their very real tales of mundane UK life – were at odds with the prevailing US grunge trends of the time, and was inadvertently a precursor to the Brit-rock movement.“It was a genuinely magical time in my life and one for which I’ll always be grateful,” said frontman Brett Anderson.
