“Suede's second album is still truly extraordinary – who would dare make it today?” Alexis Petridis (The Guardian) 

Suede’s era-defining second album from 1994 celebrates its 30th anniversary this year with this brand-new, very limited UK Dinked retail exclusive on 2LP yellow gatefold packaging with an exclusive 7” single. The package is limited to 1200 copies and the 2-sided bonus 7” includes ’The Living Dead (Piano Version)’ and ‘La Puissance (The Power)’ on vinyl for the first time. 

‘Dog Man Star’ is seen by many as Suede’s most musically adventurous album – sweeping strings sit next to orchestral ballads, epic widescreen pieces, indie anthems and trashy glam rock. It was the last album to feature the band’s guitarist and co-songwriter Bernard Butler. It includes the classic hit singles ‘We Are The Pigs’, ‘The Wild Ones’, and ‘New Generation’. Art and design for this new format has been undertaken for Suede by official designer and photographer Paul Khera and includes new sleeve notes by Cure / Manic Street Preachers biographer Simon Price.

Also available for the 30th anniversary are 2LP black vinyl halfspeed master, and a 3CD in Deluxe 7” packaging containing the original album, B-sides, bonus tracks from the ‘Dog Man Star’ era and booklet
