As part of our Suede30 campaign, alongside the newly-remastered editions of the #1 debut album, Demon Records issue Suede’s first four singles as highly collectable 7” picture discs, reproducing the original arresting cover images on the discs. The first release is the absolute classic “The Drowners”, originally released on Nude Records on 11th May 1992, and to this day one of the many highlights of a Suede concert. It reached number 49 in the UK charts, paving the way for the next three singles. The NME and Melody Maker both voted it Single Of The Year. AA-side “To The Birds” did not appear on the Suede album. But in recent times, Brett has commented that in hindsight, he would have included the song in the album’s tracklisting.
