Selling over 100,000 copies in its first week, becoming the fastest-selling debut album ever in the UK at that time, Suede also won the prestigious Mercury 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.

You know, it slightly bothers me that I would actually get all of SDE surround discs, but there's just too big a waste of money that comes with them, what with being a non-UK buyer. 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. The next record that we’re planning to write, and have already started, is much more experimental,” he told NME. “I don’t really know if there’s an arc with [ Autofiction]. I’m not seeing it as a selection of albums. You just have to do it one at a time, really. I do think of those three records as [being] together, especially Night Thoughts and The Blue Hour, but the next record will be completely different.” 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. 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.Known for being an arty, David Bowie-esque outfit, Suede’s first two records, Suede and Dog Man Star, are hailed as classics and are often mentioned in the same breath as Pulp’s Different Class, the era’s ultimate British masterpiece. However, tensions would soon erupt within the band. Engulfed by all the trappings of stardom, excess and all, something had to give. Butler, who had become hailed as the spiritual successor to The Smiths’ guitarist Johnny Marr, departed the group in spring 1994, citing tensions between him and Anderson. 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.” Selling over 100,000 copies in its first week, becoming the fastest-selling debut album ever in the UK at that time, Suede also won the prestigious Mercury Music Prize.

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 Claimed by Anderson to be the “first-ever record that wasn’t influenced in its making by drugs”, it took its lyrical cues from the likes of Albert Camus, Leonard Cohen and Paul Auster, giving it a lyrical density we’d never seen with Suede before.
