Suede - Coming Up (30th Anniversary Edition)

Demon are delighted to present a suite of products celebrating one of the high watermarks of British music in the 1990s – the incomparable ‘Coming Up’ by Suede..

Originally released in September 1996, ‘Coming Up’ represented the creative and commercial peak for a rejuvenated Suede… some debut indeed for new band members - guitarist, Richard Oakes, and keyboardist, Neil Codling. A UK No. 1 album which spent just shy of an entire year in the album chart, the vivid, electrifying ‘Coming Up’ spawned five UK Top 10 singles – ‘Trash’, ‘Beautiful Ones’, ‘Saturday Night’, ‘Lazy’ and ‘Filmstar’. 

Elsewhere, grimy glam stompers met elegiac ballads and stadium anthems… and 30 years on, ‘Coming Up’ still packs all its original punch.

5CD Edition:

On CD1 ‘Coming Up’ has been newly mastered from the original tapes at AiR Studios – three decades on, it sounds fresher than ever. CD2 presents an alternative version of the album remixed by esteemed sound wizard Steven Wilson. Created with input from the band, this alternative ‘Coming Up’ for 2026 provides a fascinating new perspective on the much-loved classic.

CDs 2 and 3 gather together bonus tracks and B-sides from the original CD single formats of ‘Coming Up’s 5 hits. It includes some all-time great Suede deeper dives including ‘Europe Is Our Playground’, ‘Money’, ‘Young Men’, ‘Sadie’ and ‘W.S.D.’ It also includes the first three B-sides Suede cut with Richard Oakes – ‘Asda Town’, ‘Bentswood Boys’ and ‘Together’ – which had appeared in 1995 towards the end of the ‘Dog Man Star’ era. Finally, CD4 rounds off with Suede’s sensitive cover of the Robert Wyatt / Elvis Costello classic ‘Shipbuilding’, originally released for the ‘War Child’ ‘Help’ album, also in 1995.

CD5 comprises ‘Coming Up At The BBC’, which recreates the original running order of the album in the form of the corporation’s Radio 1 Sessions and Reading Festival broadcasts from 1996 and 1997.
