Posted January 21, 201114 yr From Digital Spy: Former Suede guitarist Bernard Butler has been working with the band on the content and re-mastering of their back catalogue. The group will reissue all their studio material in CD/DVD packages with bonus tracks via Demon Records in June. Anderson said: "This is the definitive collection of pretty much everything we released in 14 years together - and some stuff which we didn't. "It's all re-mastered and includes unreleased, never-before-heard oddities and gems which even I'd forgotten about. It's the complete audio history of a band and, like any band of interest, it's flawed, strange and sometimes beautiful." He added to XFM: "I was emailing Bernard about demos from the first two albums this morning, strange things people haven't heard before the original four track demo of 'Introducing The Band'. "There's a couple of little oddities that we've found which are just studio outtakes. We've been talking a lot about it and getting together and doing some mastering, we did some mastering for the Best-Of that was out last year." Butler left Suede midway through the recording of the band's second album Dog Man Star in 1994, being replaced by the then 17-year-old Richard Oakes. Butler did not rejoin the band when they reformed last year. Butler and Anderson reunited in 2004 as The Tears and released their sole album Here Come the Tears the following year. Suede will play their first three albums live in their entirety over three London shows in May. I heartily endorse these events and products. I'm looking to hearing the unreleased tracks from this.
January 21, 201114 yr Excellent news :yahoo: I must try and get tickets for the Dog Man Star night at the very least
January 21, 201114 yr I hope there's tracks from the Dog Man Star sessions that I have never heard. I wish I could go to the Dog Man Start night but I doubt I could afford it.
January 26, 201114 yr Author I'm pinning my hopes on getting tickets to the Coming Up gig. Here's hoping I don't get too drunk Thursday night.
January 26, 201114 yr I'm pinning my hopes on getting tickets to the Coming Up gig. Here's hoping I don't get too drunk Thursday night. They're selling season tickets so you can get in to all three. No idea how much the tickets are.
January 26, 201114 yr Author I'm not in the country for the first two gigs, but I ordered my ticket for the Coming Up gig. Looking forward to seeing my favourite album being performed.

At a guess most people going for individual nights will probably go for the first two so Coming Up is probably your best bet. Good news for you :D
February 17, 201114 yr Author They're now playing 3 nights in Dublin the week after too. I wish they'd announced it earlier so I didn't have to fly to London whilst jet-lagged, but I'll perhaps pick up tickets to see DMS and Suede whilst I can :-).

I think you should :D If nothing else, it's a good excuse to visit Dublin. Where are they playing?
February 17, 201114 yr Author They're playing at the Olympia Theatre, which is a nice venue as far as I know. Chapel Club are the support for the London dates, which is great as I was annoyed at missing their Belfast show.

Chapel Club are the support for the London dates, which is great as I was annoyed at missing their Belfast show. The Olympia is a very good venue. I went there a few times when I worked in Dublin. I missed Chapel Club in Southampton last night so I'm looking forward to seeing them in May.
February 17, 201114 yr The Olympia is a great venue. I'll deffo be going for DMS!!!! This is great news.
