The Verve – Urban Hymns – Vinyl LP

£37.50

The Verve may not have been in the mainstream “Britpop” movement but it has stood them in good stead in regards to their recorded material.

Urban Hymns crossed over from record collecting circles into the mainstream of British culture, with tracks like the omni-present “Bitter Sweet Symphony” elevated to anthem status.

Urban Hymns set the bar extremely high for both the band and other cross-over British music, with rousing rock dynamics based around the at-times tender songwriting of Richard Ashcroft.

Originally released in september 1997, the verve’s third studio album urban hymns saw the band reach their commercial peak. With the addition of guitarist and keyboard player simon tong, urban hymns expertly caught the mood of the late-‘90s, and went on to become one of the all-time classic british albums.

Eleven times platinum in the uk and with ten million copies sold worldwide to date, it also delivered four of the era’s most iconic tracks – worldwide smash ‘bitter sweet symphony’, the uk no.1 ‘the drugs don’t work’, ‘lucky man’ and ‘sonnet’. Now, exactly twenty years on, comes this remastered version of the album by original co-producer chris potter.
