This Is Music - The Singles: Vinyl 2LP

Originally released in November 2004, This is Music: The Singles, is a compilation album by English alternative rock band The Verve: Richard Ashcroft (vocals), Pete Salisbury (drums), Simon Jones (bass) and Nick McCabe (guitar). 

2024 marks the 20th anniversary of the release of an album that has never been pressed on vinyl and, under the group’s direction, this long overdue reissue houses the powerful singles from the band’s 2008 reunion album, Forth - ‘Love Is Noise’ and ‘Rather Be’ – as well as including their second single ‘She’s A Superstar’ (1992) in its original, full-length, eight-and-a-half-minute form. As such, the album now represents the complete story of The Verve’s singles.
