The landmark 1996 album reconstructed from BBC sessions and live recordings! Suede's commercial high watermark came in 1996 with Coming Up. The 1995 addition to the line-up of lead guitarist Richard Oakes and keyboard player Neil Codling had given the band a new impetus and focus. At the very pinnacle of Britpop a scene they'd helped inspire but fiercely operated outside of � roared back with an adrenalin rush of new Suede classics. The first missive from �Coming Up� was the trailblazing �Trash�, which reached No. 3 in the UK chart � a joint career-best for the band. That was followed into the Top 10 over the next twelve months by four more hit singles from the album - �Beautiful Ones�, �Lazy�, �Saturday Night�, and �Filmstar�. During �Coming Up�s' album and singles lifespan of more than a year the band toured almost constantly � taking in the USA, Japan, Europe and right across the UK. The culmination of a year�s precision-tooling of the material in the live arena came 22nd August 1997 and a triumphant headlining slot at Reading Festival. Collected here are selected recordings from the Reading gig, broadcast on BBC Radio 1, plus some previously unreleased studio takes of the album�s tracks recorded for the station�s Evening Session and Mark Radcliffe shows. Cherrypicked by the band as the best possible �Coming Up� BBC recordings, they�ve been sequenced for �Coming Up At The BBC� in the same order as the original studio album. Note: Because no contemporary or BBC versions of the album�s penultimate song, �The Chemistry Between Us� exists, Suede have kindly donated a previously unreleased 1999 live version recorded by the same line up at that year�s Roskilde Festival.
