Suede Announce 25th Anniversary Box Set Of Debut Album Featuring Previously Unreleased Material

Way back in 1993, the glammy, preening Britpop originators Suede released their self-titled debut, one of the great rock albums of its era, and kicked off an absolute Strokes-level fury of hype in their homeland. And this year, the band will celebrate that album’s 25th anniversary by releasing an absolutely massive box-set edition of the LP, one that will include pretty much every piece of bonus material you could possibly ever hope to collect, some of which is previously unreleased. There will, of course, be the album itself. There will be a bonus disc of B-sides — notable since Suede, in grand British-band tradition, kept some of their best songs off of their albums. There will be a disc that will include demos, monitor mixes, and a BBC Radio 1 session. There will be another disc that’ll feature a recording of a February 1993 live show in Sheffield. And there will be a DVD that’ll feature six of the band’s BBC TV performances, as well as a bonus feature where former bandmates Brett Anderson and Bernard Butler will go through the album track-by-track. Check out the full tracklist below.
