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 song writing of Richard Ashcroft.
Limited super deluxe six 180gm vinyl LP set features the remastered album, B-sides, and the previously unreleased Live at Haigh Hall 5.24.98 concert. Also includes a 20-page photo book. Urban Hymns is the third studio album by The Verve, originally released in September, 1997. It earned unanimous critical praise upon it's release, selling over 10 million copies worldwide. Features the singles 'Bitter Sweet Symphony', 'Lucky Man' and 'The Drugs Don't Work'. The critical and commercial success of the album saw the band win two Brit Awards in 1998, including Best British Group, and appear on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine in March 1999. Bitter Sweet Symphony was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Rock Song.
