Search - Suede :: Singles

Excellent compilation, but stick to the non-DVD version

"Yes, I can afford to say that, because paying the Amazon price for this album isn't worth the bonus DVD. It's a lacklustre performance recorded in Singapore as kind of a throwaway; I'd give this collection five stars if it wasn't so expensive. In other words, the DVD should be a freebie, especially given the state of the lagging record industry.That being said, this is a comprehensive singles album that's essential for non-Suedeheads as a starting point. Die-hards will complain that it doesn't contain their brilliant b-sides, but then they probably don't understand the meaning behind the word "Singles" (as in something that actually got released AS a single???).But if you buy this and love it, you should definitely spend the extra coin for "Sci-Fi Lullabies"; one of the best b-side compilations this side of the JAMC's "Barbed Wire Kisses"."
