London Suede, The - The London Suede [180G/ Ltd Ed Clear Vinyl] (RSD 2020)

Available on vinyl for the first time in the US for RSD2020, the album contains what Rolling Stone called “its triptych of instantly classic singles” - “The Drowners”, “Metal Mickey” and “Animal Nitrate”.  Originally released in March 1993, “Suede” was the fastest-selling debut album ever in the UK.  At the time, the album’s release in the US was hampered by an injunction from an existing US act called Suede. As a result, the band’s subsequent album releases in the US were ‘branded’ as being by “The London Suede”, but the first album was never re-branded until now. It’s pressed on 180g clear vinyl in the US for the first time as The London Suede.
