The Verve to Release CD/DVD Retrospective

Cory D. Byrom reports:
Although mostly known for their 1997 breakthrough hit „Bittersweet Symphony“, England's The Verve spent most of the 90s fighting their way to the top of the UK charts. Unfortunately, internal strife, drug use, and legal hassles became too much for the band to bear, and, on the heels of their first taste of major success, the members went their separate ways in 1999. Since then, frontman Richard Ashcroft has released two solo LPs to, well, shit reviews. Indeed, it would seem that the flame that once burned bright as The Verve has been fully extinguished.

However! In belated memoriam, the band are prepping a generous retrospective for release on November 2nd. This Is Music: The Singles 92-98 will feature 14 career-spanning tracks, including two previously unreleased songs– „This Could Be My Moment“ and „Monte Carlo“– which were both recorded during the Urban Hymns sessions, and produced by Hymns producer Youth and A Storm in Heaven producer John Leckie. A DVD version of This Is Music is said to be packaged with the audio disc, and contains a similar tracklist of, we can assume, videos. Glorious:
