I've always loved the Evening Session She's a Lady but hearing it on CD properly mastered (and cranked up, ha) is next level. You can tell they've just come off tour at this point - tight as you like, and Nick's ass has exactly the right amount of lead in it!

 Received yesterday (Spain here) the Mojo June magazine with the CD and OMG.. being honest, i think i had never liked SHE'S A LADY so much. In my humble opinion, better than the H'n'H version. Sounds like if it had been produced by Neil Tennant! First time i hear it and think "oh, man, this could have been a single"

That's Harsh ! I always liked the production on HnH. It might be a bit over the top, but i gives the record a feel of being completely sucked in the sound. Like layers and layers and layers of blanket on a winter night on your bed. It's comfy.

Ed Buller and the band (let's face it, they had some responsibility) made some great choices on HnH but dropping the violin and slowing the tempo was a bad one.

But that meant pushing the violin back up again and speeding the tempo on DC. So all in all ?  we got really great album followed by masterpiece.

Nah, Russell speaks fondly of Chris Thomas in his book and pointedly doesn't mention Ed Buller by name.

Rough Trade look to have an alternative cover for sale

I ordered the "regular" cover via Great Magazine UK on April 11. I haven't got my copy yet, so they kindly gave me a refund... So, I ordered this special version at the Rough Trade US store just now. The shipping to Canada is ridiculous! Anyway, I am the fool in Canada. 

Anyone who wants this cover, go to Rough Trade US store.

I see Mojo are giving Suede similar treatment for their new edition - front cover (full band) with a free CD of rarities. Cheapest the Pulp one a bit - this was Pulp's comeback after decades away. Suede have been prolific since their return with 4 albums since 2013.
