Copper Blue is the debut studio album by American alternative rock band Sugar. It was voted 1992 Album of the Year by the NME. All of the songs were written by guitarist/vocalist Bob Mould, who also co-produced with Lou Giordano. The song "The Slim" is about losing someone to AIDS. Musically, the band continues the thick punk guitar of Mould's previous band, Hüsker Dü, while slowing the tempo and emphasizing melody even more.

Creation put out Copper Blue in September 1992 (Ryko handled the . release) to great sales and universal acclaim. NME (who along with Melody Maker had started calling the music of MBV's myriad spawn "shoegazing") voted it their album of the year. Copper is as impressive as any post-Zen Arcade Hüsker Dü album, adapting the approach he took with "Makes No Sense at All", "I Don't Know For Sure", and "Could You Be the One?" for the Alternative Nation, many of whom (myself at 15 included) were completely unaware of his prior band. I remember a Hüsker/Sugar version of the classic "did you know Paul McCartney was in a band before Wings?" joke going around at the time.

Shortly after Copper Blue, Sugar issued a follow-up EP of material that didn’t quite fit onto the album, and when played back to back as they’re presented here, the differences are stark to say the least. Beaster is a much darker and harsher set of songs, carrying with them a much more aggressive approach and strange religious iconography. The careening punk rocker Tilted sounds more Hüsker Dü than Sugar, and Judas Cradle is a stomping permutation of shoegaze. And JC Auto, the strongest song here, is Mould at his most unhinged, snarling, I’m your Jesus Christ, I know, I know! The live.

The 2-LP version includes Copper Blue & Beaster on vinyl, plus downloads of both records, B-sides and the complete 1992 live show. You get Copper Blue with b-sides, The Beaster EP, a concert from 1992 at the Cabaret Metro and an excellent booklet with lyrics, photos and interviews with all three guys all in one package. The original CD was low in volume like it was an album transfered to CD vs mastered on CD. It was bass shy which made it sound thin and flat.
