Info zu Coming up at the BBC

„Coming Up“ ist das dritte Studioalbum der englischen Rockband Suede, das im September 1996 erschien. Es war ein kommerzieller Erfolg, erreichte Platz eins der britischen Albumcharts und brachte fünf Top-Ten-Singles hervor. Das Album markierte nach dem Ausscheiden des Gitarristen Bernard Butler eine Hinwendung zu einem PoP-orientierteren Sound.

Hier sind ausgewählte Aufnahmen des Lesekonzerts versammelt, das auf BBC Radio 1 ausgestrahlt wurde, sowie einige bisher unveröffentlichte Studioaufnahmen der Albumtitel, die für die „Evening Session“ und die „Mark Radcliffe Show“ des Senders aufgenommen wurden. Von der Band als die bestmöglichen „Coming Up“-Aufnahmen der BBC ausgewählt, wurden sie für „Coming Up at The BBC“ in derselben Reihenfolge wie das ursprüngliche Studioalbum zusammengestellt.

Suede
are an English alternative rock band, formed in London in 1989 and currently consists of singer Brett Anderson, guitarist Richard Oakes, bass player Mat Osman, drummer Simon Gilbert and keyboardist/rhythm guitarist Neil Codling. Having split up in 2003, the Coming Up/Head Music line-up of the band reformed in 2010. The band's original guitarist Bernard Butler left the band in 1994.

In 1992, Suede were described as "The Best New Band in Britain“, and attracted much attention from the British music press. The following year their debut album Suede, went to the top of the charts by becoming the fastest-selling debut album in almost ten years. It won the Mercury Music Prize and helped foster Britpop as a musical genre. However, the band's follow-up, Dog Man Star (1994), showed Suede distancing themselves from their Britpop peers. The recording sessions for Dog Man Star were fraught with difficulty, and ended with Butler departing the band after confrontations with the rest of the band. The album was completed without Butler, with the band touring the album with new recruit Richard Oakes. Although a commercial disappointment at the time, the album was met with a generally enthusiastic reception on release and has, over time been lauded with universal acclaim from critics.

In 1996, following the further recruitment of keyboard player Neil Codling along with Oakes, Suede went on to greater commercial success with Coming Up. The album reached number one in the UK, producing five top ten singles and becoming Suede's biggest-selling album worldwide. In 1997, Anderson became addicted to crack and heroin. Despite problems within the band, Suede's fourth album Head Music (1999) was a British chart-topper. The album was promoted heavily with the band receiving considerable press coverage on its release, however it garnered a mixed reaction dividing fans and critics alike. Codling left the band in 2001, citing chronic fatigue syndrome and was replaced by Alex Lee. The band's fifth album, A New Morning (2002), the first following the collapse of Nude Records, was a commercial disappointment, and the group disbanded the following year. After much speculation Suede reformed in 2010 for a series of concerts. Three years on from their reunion gigs, Suede released their sixth album, Bloodsports, on 18 March 2013. The album was well received by critics and returned the band to the top ten in the UK.
