Suede: Coming Up

5CD box set featuring a new master of the original album

Includes the 2026 Steven Wilson mix, 'Coming Up at the BBC', B-sides and the band's cover of 'Shipbuilding'

Includes the singles ‘Trash’, ‘Beautiful Ones’, ‘Saturday Night’, ‘Lazy’ and ‘Filmstar’

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.

For the anniversary, ‘Coming Up’ has been expanded into an all-encompassing 5CD edition, in Deluxe 7”X 7” packaging.

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 extra 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.

Presented in 7” Deluxe packaging with a 20-page booklet, ‘Coming Up – 30th Anniversary Edition’ has been graphic-designed by the album’s original designer Howard Wakefield using digitally restored versions of the original photography and art direction by Nick Knight and Peter Saville. New sleeve notes have been supplied by Miranda Sawyer based on 2026 interviews with Richard Oakes and Neil Codling.
