10/10 album and it's not even their best!
It was ridiculous leaving Europe Is Our Playground off though.
I’ve dug out Sci Fi Lullabies disc 2 as a result of this post for the first time in years.I know what you mean because the original recording of that - as heard on the b-side of "Trash" - is absolutely magnificent but it absolutely would not have fitted.
If you run through the "Coming Up" b-sides, there is potentially an excellent but much darker album than "Coming Up" which wouldn't have had the same response or impact. But it's hard not to imagine an album with "Europe...", "Have You Ever Been This Low", "Young Men", "Every Monday Morning Comes", "WSD" and so on alongside, say, "Picnic" "By The Sea", "Saturday Night" and so on.
They are spoilt for choice for sure. Head Music was a dip in form but I still enjoyed it. Everything Will Flow remains lovely although it’s veering towards MOR and She’s In Fashion was a good single.I didn't see the Coming Up edition of Suede until 2013, when they toured "Bloodsports". They were bloody marvellous and knew exactly what they were doing: all the singles from "Suede" and "Coming Up" (except "Lazy"), deep cuts from "Dog Man Star" (they opened with "Still Life"!), key b-sides like "My Insatiable One", exactly fuck all from "Head Music" or "A New Morning" and the 4 best songs from "Bloodsports". Superb.

I've retrieved the deluxe editions of the first three albums for a bit of looning.

OMG the deluxes passed me by! They didn’t have what I wanted in Rough Trade today and I think I deserve all three if they’re still available

x every lock of hair in Brett’s lovely head
Quite why they EVER felt the need to meddle with the original version is beyond me. Utterly immaculate and easily in my Suede Top 10. Possibly even Top FIVE
Let’s pleaseOh God and ‘W.S.D.’ INDEED! We’re so disco we can’t get on in this world anymore
