It’s been three decades since Suede’s debut album propelled them to fame and they found a perfect way to celebrate this milestone. The British alternative rock band announced the 30th-anniversary reissue of their debut self-titled album.
The limited edition 30th anniversary reissue will be released on July 7, and it will include a couple of treats for the band’s most devoted fans. The album comes in a newly mixed and mastered format, remastered by Phil Kinrade, who used the original tapes and production masters to improve the sound.
The band members confirmed the album’s release in an official statement, and frontman Brett Anderson reflected on the legacy of their debut LP.
“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,” said Anderson in a statement.
Upon its release in 1993, Suede debuted atop the UK Albums Chart and led to the emergence of Britpop during the 90s. It sold over 100,000 copies in the UK and produced hit singles “The Drowners”, “Metal Mickey”, and “Animal Nitrate”.
