Be my god.... yes ! I got a little nostalgic reading Love and Poison and happened to find somebody selling a copy. Then chickened out. Would you buy one ? It's the only record in existence with Mike Joyce, Justine, Bernard, Brett and Matt on. It is also I believe the only Suede recording which has the Madchester buzz to it.
They were going for around 120 squid when Coming Up was released but were hard as f'ck to find. Apparently, Justine threw her copy in the bin and half the numbers originally pressed ended up in a skip. A quality control pressing which was found when a record press in Slough was shut down went for 150, but is possibly the FIRST EVER Suede vinyl pressing. Imagine owning that ?!
The copy I found was from somebody who went to Haywards Heath 6th form and knew somebody who followed the manager and band around a lot in the early 90's.
Looking at the Les Paul tomorrow ! Wondering if my wife will get cross ?
