Bernard Butler working on Suede reissues

Former Suede guitarist Bernard Butler has been working with the band on the content and re-mastering of their back catalogue.

The group will reissue all their studio material in CD/DVD packages with bonus tracks via Demon Records in June.

Anderson said: "This is the definitive collection of pretty much everything we released in 14 years together - and some stuff which we didn't.

"It's all re-mastered and includes unreleased, never-before-heard oddities and gems which even I'd forgotten about. It's the complete audio history of a band and, like any band of interest, it's flawed, strange and sometimes beautiful."

He added to XFM: "I was emailing Bernard about demos from the first two albums this morning, strange things people haven't heard before the original four track demo of 'Introducing The Band'.

"There's a couple of little oddities that we've found which are just studio outtakes. We've been talking a lot about it and getting together and doing some mastering, we did some mastering for the Best-Of that was out last year."

Butler left Suede midway through the recording of the band's second album Dog Man Star in 1994, being replaced by the then 17-year-old Richard Oakes. Butler did not rejoin the band when they reformed last year.

Butler and Anderson reunited in 2004 as The Tears and released their sole album Here Come the Tears the following year.

Suede will play their first three albums live in their entirety over three London shows in May.
