Description
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).
Originally released in November 2004 it featured two non-singles, tracks pulled from the sessions for their third album Urban Hymns, This Could Be My Moment and Monte Carlo.
2024 marks the 20th anniversary of the release of an album that has never been pressed on vinyl and, under the groups direction, this long overdue reissue replaces the bonus tracks with the powerful singles from the bands 2008 reunion album, Forth Love is Noise and Rather Be as well as including their second single Shes A Superstar (1992) in its original, full-length, eight-and-a-half-minute form (rather than the five-minute edit). As such, the album now represents the complete story of The Verves singles.
