It was a genuinely magical time in my life and one for which I’ll always be grateful. It felt incredible being in what I thought was quite probably the most exciting band in the world at the time, making a record which felt like more than just another band making another album.” – Brett Anderson

First, the VAT: I have to pay the UK VAT to SDE, which actually accounts for more profit to them. Then, on delivery, I'll also be charged with the Italian VAT, and the Italian VAT on the UK VAT. Not a happy customer. Suede’s eponymous debut was an instant critical and commercial triumph. Adorned with the iconic image captured by American photographer Tee Corinne, it shot to No.1 in the UK Album Charts upon its release. The debut Suede album didn’t want a scrap with the Northern alleged hard bastards or mix with The Mixer crowd in Camden. They created a sound which still hits you in the gut today. Butler’s guitar sound is revered everywhere to this day and Anderson, although called a Bowie copiest with his gender flirting and arse slapping on stage like a Morrissey without the daffs and hearing aid was a commanding force. The outsiders inside have come up trumps recently with the amazing Autofiction reviewed here by Ged Babey which easily matches their debut and confirms Suede as one our best British bands ever.Selected items are only available for delivery via the Royal Mail 48® service and other items are available for delivery using this service for a charge. Meanwhile, the band have recently been touring in support of their acclaimed 2022 album Autofiction. Speaking to NME last year, Anderson revealed that the band were already at work on their next album. Whilst performing Autofiction in front of tens of thousands of fans at an entirely sold-out and rapturously received UK tour, Suede marked 30 years to the day since the release of their self-titled debut album with a very special surprise set. Fast forward to February 1992, and the band were signed to the independent record label, Nude. Hailed by the press “as the next big thing”, they released their first single, ‘The Drowners’, in May that year. The band were fast on their way to becoming one of Britain’s best-beloved bands. Suede’s self-titled debut album from 1993 will be reissued in July for its 30th anniversary and formats will include an SDE-exclusive blu-ray with Steven Wilson Dolby Atmos and 5.1 mixes.

Due on 7 July 2023, fans can look forward to special limited edition 30th anniversary releases, newly mixed and mastered presenting the band’s classic self-titled debut album in the best sounding way possible in 2023.Speaking to NME last year, Anderson revealed that the band were already at work on their next album. He added: “I’d love to think that our most daring work is ahead of us. That’s a really exciting prospect – that a band at our stage of our career haven’t just settled for running through the motions. I love making new records: it makes my heart beat faster, it’s what I get up for in the morning.” It was a genuinely magical time in my life and one for which I’ll always be grateful,” says lead singer Brett Anderson. “It felt incredible being in what I thought was quite probably the most exciting band in the world at the time, making a record which felt like more than just another band making another album.” The news of Suede30 follows the release of Autofiction , Suede’s brand new studio album. Debuting at No.2 in the UK Albums Chart in September 2022 and marking Suede’s highest charting LP since 1999’s Head Music , the album has been universally received as a late-career triumph. The picture disc LP (limited to 1030 copies worldwide) will feature reimagined exclusive artwork by Paul Khera, along with an exclusive picture disc featuring Anderson’s lyrics housed in a deluxe gatefold sleeve featuring gold foil detailing, and a classic Kevin Cummins photograph across the centrefold.
