Description
It's just over 30 years ago that former Suede guitarist Bernard Butler and ex-
Thieves frontman David McAlmont unleashed the extraordinary single 'Yes'
at the beginning of a summer awash with Britpop and Ibiza rave. With its
instant-classic sound, augmented by soaring '60s strings, it sounded epic
and most definitely unlike anything else at the time. Rightly, today it's
considered a stone-cold classic.
When it followed in the December of the same year, the album 'The Sound
Of…' was an immensely satisfying and beguiling mix of classic songwriting,
immaculate production, and blending of rock and soul. The album was also
singled out by critics as one of the year's very best. 'The Guardian'
newspaper awarded it a maximum 5 stars while 'The Times's critic
commented: "the monumental climax to the seven-minute-long 'You Do'
provides a fitting end both to the album and to a relationship that shook so
hard that perhaps it had to shatter."
For this limited-edition reissue, the original album has been mastered over
2LPs for enhanced audio quality. Mastering from the original studio tapes
was overseen by Bernard himself and undertaken by his longtime studio
partner George Shilling.
Initial 1000 preorders come with a free 12"X12" print signed by Bernard
Butler and David McAlmont.
