This deluxe 4CD+DVD book edition 'Suede' celebrates the 25th anniversary of it's original release, and includes the album; the b-sides; a CD of demos, monitor mixes (several previously unreleased) and the band's first BBC radio session, arranged chronologically; plus a concert from February 1993. The DVD features six contemporary TV performances (including their first ever TV appearance), and an hour-long film of Brett and Bernard Butler discussing the writing and recording of the album, all issued for the first time. Also included is a new note by Brett about his memories of the recording of the album, along with the lyrics, hand-written lyric drafts, tape boxes, and photos from the band's collections. Brett Anderson believes that 'Suede' probably has more cultural resonance than any other of their albums, as a pre-cursor to Britpop and a supplanter of grunge.

A great purchase on vinyl!
I can understand people who bought the deluxe version of this album on CD some years feeling a little peeved about this release - at least if bought on CD. A bit. Sure, a lot of content is the same, but there is content on this release that hasn’t been released before.Where this release really wins is on vinyl. Anyone who bought Sci-fi Lullabies on vinyl will be aware that it didn’t include some recordings: Painted People, Dolly, Brass In Pocket (ok, not a b side) and the piano version of My Insatiable One. To my mind, unless you own the original 12”s, this is the first time these recordings have been available on vinyl within a collection.Sure, if you’re looking at the CD, the great content you may already have on that previous deluxe version - but this is a great purchase on vinyl.The sound of the vinyl brings a little more clarity and presence compared to the standard version.Not a fan of the silver cover, I have to say . Also some people have complained that they thought the actual vinyl was silver. I’m glad that it isn’t - coloured vinyl tends to be poorer quality when compared to its black equivalent.So, all in all, a great purchase on vinyl.

A richer sounding version of a classic album
I was torn as to whether I should buy this, I already have the album and the b-sides elsewhere but I was intrigued by the remastering.It arrived in an odd package - CDs in a gatefold sized for a 7inch record. Hard to stack with my other CDs but nothing new inside.The album itself though sounds richer and you can hear more layers and detail. This is mostly around the bass and drums but occasionally the guitars also sound more textured. I wondered if I was just misremembering the original but having played it to compare, I prefer the new remastered version - it just sounds more complete.

Nice Album. Terrible packaging
Its the best Suede album, but presented in rotten packaging. The discs are impossible to extract without scratching them. What idiot designed this?

The 'silver' part of the title is deceptive!
The vinyl sounds very fine, so no issues there. Quiet, flat, good dynamics.Beware however, because Amazon list this as a 'silver' edition, which in my opinion suggests silver vinyl. The vinyl is black.Please, Amazon, list your vinyl more accurately! Barcodes would really help.

Warning
Not the silver vinyl RSD version, but standard black vinyl.
