Released in March 1993, Suedes selftitled debut was a critical and commercial triumph, winning the prestigious Mercury Music Prize and hitting the 1 spot on the UK Album Chart. Featuring the classic singles The Drowners, Animal Nitrate, So Young, and Metal Mickey, Suede sold 100,000 copies in its first week, making it the fastest selling debut album ever in the UK at the time. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of this landmark album, Edsel is proud to present this newly mastered edition of the album.It was a genuinely magical time in my life and one for which Ill 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 Anderson30 years ago, this is where it all began A mixture of the live songs that had won us a following and our first experiments in the studio. Listening back now it still has that sense of wildness, and drama, and possibility of those early days So young and so gone, indeed Mat OsmanThe album has been newly mastered by Phil Kinrade at AIR from the original tapes and production masters, overseen and approved by producer Ed Buller. The nine B sides are now included on a second CD, along with a cover of Brass in Pocket, recorded for an NME covermount cassette.
