| the below text was originally written by david barnett for the coming up tour program. ultimately, the band decided to go with different verbiage, but we are pleased to share with you this previously unseen nugget of prose. |

| suede here they come, the beautiful ones . . . ladies and gentlemen. welcome to the circus. come see the freaks and jugglers, the drag acts, drug acts and suicides, shaved heads and rave heads. and let’s not forget uncle ted and his legendary vests. welcome to the world of suede. not just the best band in the world, it’s probably not too controversial to point out that you don’t know anything about suede until you have seen them live. coming up, replete with chunky guitars, satisfying rhythms and tight trousered choruses, is undoubtedly a brilliant pop record, a gleaming jewel in a desert of mediocrity. from the carefree springtime sound of "trash", through the summery lackadasia of "lazy", putting its slippers on for the autumnal "picnic by the motorway" and snuggling up round the fire for the frosty, almost christmassy "saturday night", its an album for all seasons, bursting with infectious bits and shiny bobs. it might well be suede’s best album. it might just be the best until the next one. for tonight at least, none of this matters.
