News about the video for Attitude...

September 10, 2003
Listen to Attitude, just click on this link and let the streaming play until you hear the song [don't hit 'Skip 5 mins'].

The track is released on double CD and DVD formats on 6 October, and is featured on their forthcoming ‘Singles’ compilation, due two weeks later on October 20. It comes backed across the formats with two brand new tracks, ‘Golden Gun’ and ‘Oxygen’, the demo version of ‘Attitude’, and two out-takes from the Suede archive, ‘Just A Girl’ and ‘Heroin’.

The DVD features an early version of ‘We’re So Disco’, which emerged as ‘WSD’, an Arthur Baker remix of ‘Head Music’, and the director Lindy Heymann’s cut of the ‘Attitude’ video.

‘Just A Girl’ was written by Brett Anderson before he formed Suede, and was recorded as a duet between Anderson and guitarist Richard Oakes shortly after Oakes joined the band in 1994.

July 2003
The Greatest Hits is due to be released late 2003. It's going to contain all the essential Suede hits plus 1 or 2 new songs - naturally with a single to promote it.

The greatest hits album most likely will be called "Singles", and will probably include Stay Together which the band weren't keen to include in the first place. Next single is most likely be Golden Gun, a rocking Suede tune which have been played live a few times so far.

authorised biography book

August 30, 2003

The almost-final artwork of "Love and Poison" is on display at amazon.com where you can already pre-order the item. It smoothly oozes the whole essence of Suedesque art from time to time without repeating or parodying what have been done before. May I add that the author is appropriately credited as David Barnett.

The only change so far is that the logo has been moved somewhere more sensible than where it is shown here.

The picture will also be used for the cover of "Singles".

The official biography book will be out on November 3.

July 2003
The official biography book, written by David Barnett - long time Suede insider, credited as "Dave Barnett" - will be entitled "Love & Poison - The Authorised Biography". The draft is ready, and the book will hit the shelves in late October 2003. You can even pre-order now at Amazon.
This book will take even the most devoted fan by surprise with its revealing details that no one ever knew before. That alone, with Barnett's sharp wit and humour, makes this a definitely must have Suede-bible!
