It may well be that recently reconstituted Suede will record new material (they remain tight-lipped on the subject) but if they do, it won't be before they've squeezed a little more commercial life out of their decade-plus back catalogue. On Nov. 1, the NME reports, the Britpop veterans will release 'The Best of Suede,' a two-disc collection that compiles singles, B-sides and album tracks.

Disc two, meanwhile, includes B-sides like 'Killing of a Flashboy' (the reverse of 1994's 'We Are the Pigs') along with album tracks such as 'Pantomime Horse' and 'Sleeping Pills' from the band's self-titled 1993 LP.
