Suedemania
Catalog No.: WOT1022
Label: Why Not
Release Date: 1/1/1993
Italian CD Bootleg
Notes: This disc features the full set from the Glastonbury festival 1993. The sound quality is great, and were clearly recorded off a mixing desk. The track listing on the sleeve is totally wrong, for example it says that "My Insatiable One" is the first song. On this show Suede premiered the now famous track "Still Life", it's the acoustic version of the song. A funny thing about the inner-sleeve is the four pictures of the band members with their names written next to the pictures; they managed to get Brett, Bernard and Mat right. But next to the picture of Simon Gilbert they have written Mike Joyce.
Bruxelles
Catalog No.: SE 338
Label: Bundy Records
Release Date: 1/1/1993
CD Bootleg
Notes: A compilation of tracks from various gigs, all readily available on other bootlegs. The first four tracks, up to and including "Brass In Pocket" (originally recorded for NME's Ruby Trax charity album) are fair,but a marked change comes at the start of "The Next Life" when the quality increases appreciably. Overall, the rest of the songs are very good. The track "To the Birds" is not listed on the sleeve, but is present on the disc.
Drown To A Popular Tune
Catalog No.: NR/317
Label: Nubuck Records
Release Date: 1/1/1993
CD Bootleg
Notes: The Manchester gig was recorded in September 1993 from BBC Radio 1 (Mark Goodiers Evening Session). Excellent sound quality, surely one of the best bootleg Suede recordings. The same show also appears on "Strange Fascination". The Drowners, To The Birds (version 2) and My Insatiable One aren't demos but taped off the radio, hence fading in and out at the start and finish. Be My God is the standard 12" version but trimmed by the bootleggers. The two page booklet that comes with the CD features two full color shots, one of Brett, and the other of the entire band.
Live Insanity
Catalog No.: PLAN 026
Label: Planet-X
Release Date: 1/1/1993
CD Bootleg
Notes: Recorded somewhere in Europe, 1993. The quality a bit worse than an average bootleg. The show is from the classic tour where they shocked the public by starting their set with a typical encore. Shows from this tour can also be found on other bootlegs, not the same one though.
Movin'
Catalog No.: KTS 158
Label: Kiss The Stone
Release Date: 1/1/1993
Italian CD Bootleg
Notes: This CD bootleg was one of the earlier ones on the market. The Newcastle show tracks are of very good quality, and were clearly recorded off a mixing desk. The tracks from the London show, however, are very poor, and include possibly the harshest version of "The Drowners" ever performed. Basically, buying this disk means listening to only the first seven tracks. Furthermore, the entire Newcastle performance can be found on several other CD bootlegs were it is supplemented by higher quality audio from other shows. The CD booklet includes a green tinted photo of Brett taking off his shirt.
So Young
Catalog No.: MNR 011
Label: Mogul Nightmare Records
Release Date: 1/1/1993
CD Bootleg
Notes: The sleeve says "Live in Europe '93" it doesn't say where or when. But between "The Drowners" and "Painted People" Brett says "Thank you Paris" and after looking through a 1993 tour schedule I found out that the only Paris gig in 1993 was at La Cigalle. This bootleg has pretty good sound quality, and an excellent cross-section of early Suede material. The track "Pantomime Horse" is wrongly titeled "Pantomime Mouse" on the tracklisting.
Blue Suede Shoes
Catalog No.: MWL 019
Label: Music With Love
Release Date: 1/1/1993
CD Bootleg
Notes: This bootleg is the only to feature tracks from the 1992 "100 Club" appearance, and the sound is quite good. Tracks from the other two shows are included on the "Movin'" CD bootleg.
Strange Fascination
Catalog No.: NK004
Label: Nikko Records
Release Date: 1/1/1993
Italian CD Bootleg
Notes: This CD bootleg comes in possibly the nicest packaging for a CD of this type, and the music doesn't disappoint either. The first series of tracks is drawn from the superbly recorded Manchester 1993 show (see notes for "Drown To A Popular Tune"), and another complete Manchester show of high quality rounds out the package. The second Manchester show, recorded at the "Boardwalk on June 8th, 1992", and broadcast on "The New Sessions, July 24th, 1992", is of equal quality, but is a little murky. This last show also appears on the "High Hopes" CD bootleg. Disregard the quote on the back of the disc that suggests all tracks were recorded in 1992. The black and white picture of Brett and Bernard is printed on the disc.
Suede (Europe) 92/93
Catalog No.: RFCD 1277
Label: Red Line
Release Date: 1/1/1993
CD Bootleg
Notes: The Glastonbury recording appearing here is incomplete, the entire show can be found on the "Suedemania" CD bootleg. The Newcastle set can also be found on the "Movin'" and "Blue Suede Shoes" CD bootlegs.
