Reissues: Sci-Fi Lullabies 3 CD Edition

Suede's classic 1997 B-sides compilation Sci-Fi Lullabies will be reissued in May now as an expanded 3CD set with the original version re-released across multiple vinyl editions.

The original 27-track collection spans Suede's first three albums (Suede (1993), Dog Man Star (1994) and Coming Up (1996) and genuinely showcases some of their best work, with songs such as "My Insatiable One", "The Living Dead", "My Dark Star", "Killing Of A Flashboy", "Europe Is Our Playground", "Young Men" and many more.

Now this brand new 3CD edition is special because it brings the story up to date with a further 19 B-sides and "extra tracks" from 1999 to 2023. It's these songs that make up Sci-Fi Lullabies: Vol 2 which is getting a standalone release on 2LP grey vinyl for Record Store Day. Tracks such as "Blinded" (previously unreleased) and "Manipulation" are making their first-ever appearance on CD on this 3CD set.

The design for the 3CD set, which comes in seven-inch packaging, features a die-cut front cover to allow fans to switch between original and new (Vol 2) covers for Sci-Fi Lullabies, which is a nice touch.

Meanwhile on vinyl, the original Sci-Fi Lullabies (27 tracks) is reissued as a 3LP set (now with ‘Vol 1.’ appended to the title) with no fewer than three different versions available. A black half-speed mastered edition is pressed on 180g black vinyl and there’s also a triple vinyl edition pressed on 140g grey vinyl. Finally, a 3LP vinyl picture disc version (limited to 1000 units) will also be available via the band’s shop. There is no combined vinyl edition of Volumes 1 and 2 as there is on CD (that would be a 5LP set, if it existed).

These new versions of Sci-Fi Lullabies will be released on 23 May 2025, via Edsel and Demon Records.
