Originally released in September 1997, Urban Hymns spawned three highly successful singles: the worldwide hit ‘Bitter Sweet Symphony’, the UK number one hit, ‘The Drugs Don’t Work’ and ‘Lucky Man’ (number seven).
The 20th anniversary edition of Urban Hymns will be available as a CD, Deluxe 2CD, Super-deluxe 5CD + DVD box, and Super-deluxe 3 x 2LP box set. These include b-sides, plus three hours of unreleased live material, including the full May 1998 hometown show in front of around 35,000 fans at Haigh Hall, Wigan (on both CD and DVD).
The DVD includes the documentary ‘The Videos 96-98’, only ever previously available on VHS.
The deluxe packages also feature new interviews with all the band and all physical releases draw on a vast array of previously unseen photography by Chris Floyd, who first travelled with The Verve on their US tour of 1994 and was granted unprecedented access during the making of Urban Hymns and beyond - up to and including the Haigh Hall show.
The Super-deluxe CD includes a lavish 56-page hard cover book plus poster and 5 postcards. The Vinyl edition comes in a gatefold sleeve and includes a 20-page booklet plus download card that entitles the purchaser to all audio from the super-deluxe CD box.
