Singer Brett Anderson pulled the band Suede together in 1992 when he recruited Bernard Butler, Matt Osman and Simon Gilbert and their first four singles all charted alongside their debut Number 1 album Suede, which also brought them the 1993 Mercury Music Prize. When Butler left in 1994, Richard Oakes joined the group and the new line-up racked up the Number 1 albums Coming Up and Head Music plus a further twelve Top 20 singles. In 2005 Anderson and Butler reunited as The Tears and in 2013 Anderson, after issuing four solo albums, returned to the band to record their seventh album Bloodsports.
MOJO magazine asked me to work with Suede, who had just made a fantastic impact with their first album and an amazing performance at the 93 BRIT awards. They were one of the happening bands of the year and looked great. They responded well to my simple idea and Bernard Butler, their brilliant guitarist, really made the shot special with his performance at the back of the group!
