Merge Records will reissue Suburban Light?the start of the label's five-album, decade-plus relationship with The Clientele?on May 13, 2014. Released as a double-disc and one-LP/one-CD set, this new edition will feature not only the album in its original European tracklisting but also a revelatory set of covers, rehearsals and B-sides that reveal the earliest iterations of The Clientele. And there's the previously unreleased ''Sarah's Prelude,'' too, the lovely, lonely and abandoned opener of an album that stuns, even without the strings.
