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 meet elegiac ballads and stadium anthems and 30 years on, ‘Coming Up’ still packs all its original punch.

For this anniversary release, ‘Coming Up’ has been mastered from the original tapes and cut at half-speed for an exceptional audiophile listening experience. Also, original ‘Coming Up’ graphic designer Howard Wakefield has come on board 30 years on to restore Nick Knight and Peter Saville’s iconic photography and artwork to their full glory.
