Beautiful Ones: The Best of Suede 1992-2018

~ Release by Suede (see all versions of this release, 3 available)

Annotation

HMV Description:
From their early singles and their 1993 Mercury Music Prize-winning debut album to their break-up in 2003, Suede were a fixture in the UK Singles and Albums charts, and the music press too. They scored twenty hit singles and five hit albums (three of which debuted at #1), and a double album of B-sides even charted at #9. The band reformed for a one-off charity concert in 2010 and decided to make it permanent - they have released three new studio albums since 2013. Compiled by the band, this two CD set features the huge '90s hits like 'Metal Mickey', 'Animal Nitrate', 'Stay Together', 'Trash, 'Filmstar', 'Lazy', 'Beautiful Ones', 'Saturday Night', 'Electricity', 'She's in Fashion', 'Everything Will Flow' and 'Can't Get Enough', along with favourite B-sides like 'To the Birds', 'My Insatiable One' and 'Killing of a Flashboy'. Also featured are classic album tracks like 'The Asphalt World' and 'He's Gone'. The collection brings the story up to date with sixteen tracks from the three recent albums, including 'Life Is Golden', 'It Starts and Ends With You' and 'Outsiders'.
