The Verve – Urban Hymns
Format: 2xlp Vinyl

Originally released in 1997, Urban Hymns remains a towering achievement of the Britpop era and one of the best-selling albums in UK history. Combining sweeping orchestral arrangements with psychedelic rock and raw, emotional songwriting, the record features the era-defining masterpieces Bitter Sweet Symphony, The Drugs Don't Work, and Lucky Man. The Verve, fronted by the magnetic Richard Ashcroft, moved from their shoegaze roots to global superstardom with this release, securing the Brit Award for Best British Album and a Mercury Prize nomination. Their legacy is built on a massive, atmospheric sound that captured the cultural mood of the late nineties, influencing a generation of guitar bands. This 2LP vinyl edition presents the complete 13-track set, documenting the peak of a band that consistently pushed the boundaries of alternative rock to reach a massive international audience.
