Released in 1997, Urban Hymns is the classic third studio album from The Verve. The record is among the biggest selling in UK history, and has shifted in excess of 10 million copies worldwide. Much of this success is down to its singles - Bitter Sweet Symphony, Lucky Man, The Drugs Don't Work and Sonnet - each of them stonewall classics and synonymous with the britpop era.20 years on, the strength of the writing, the quality of the ensemble playing and sensitive production ensure the album sounds as riveting as ever. To mark this anniversary, the record is being reissued with a bounty of bonus material - all of the accompanying B-sides, a selection of remixes, plus the previously unreleased Live at Haigh Hall performance.In addition, the set includes a 20-page booklet, plus a download card which entitles purchaser to a selection of BBC Evening Session tracks and 12 tracks of further live material.
