I'm cycling through all the early Verve and praying I never reach the bottom. May it go on and on and on and on...

[@tonysproule3408]

Yes beyond the grave

[@gab_infante]

same and magically something pops up each time

[@hundenstihl]

Once you find it all, go back a few weeks, months, years later. It’ll hit you just as hard almost every time. Its magic.

[@Stop.please76]

Probably the most underrated musicians to come out of the UK

[@badgasaurus4211]

Hardly. One of the biggest UK acts of the 90s

[@tonebenderx]

Brilliant early version of “Come On”! They were the best thing out there for a couple of years before imploding ... which is a damn shame.

[@michaeloneill8452]

This is Music guitar is in the astral plain, unrepeatable

[@SD-ml2lk]

Nick McCabe is the man. Don't forget it.

[@kevinross2515]

MR “ you look a bit like John Cooper Clarke” RA : “aye ?? bloody hell !” 😂😂😂 beautiful

[@jasonisamu9989]

This has to be 1 of the best recordings I've heard from northern soul era!? And I even seen them live in 95'.....😁

[@jasonisamu9989]

Man this shit sounds so freaking Dope.. Can't fuk'n believe i never heard this damn recording!..

[@tonysproule3408]

Love all these Radcliffe sets, I think they took down the one with the sped up version of "Already There" Stateside yank who has been listening to the lads for 30 years saw em in TEXAS and Detroit, best shows of my life!

[@MrWayout74]

God bless marc and lard, and god bless the verve!! Remember waiting up to hear this session and just fuggin' love this band and also the radio program the appeared on.

[@simonberry1977]

Glad you like it

[@MrWayout74]

Great memories of a treasured band and treasured radio program. Happy daze ! Just moved onto David Axlerod in memory of the greatest band of the '90's. Northern Soul is without a doubt my fave album of that era. And my fave gigs of that time. Wigan was ok but saw them at their upmost prime at manchester academy just after the first split. Fuggin ace!!!!

[@simonberry1977]

+MrWayout74 Couldn't agree more re. ANS. I saw them at Wolverhampton in '97 - couldn't get Manc tickets - and agree they were on fire 'round that time. The spark had been lit again

[@MrWayout74]

TOO FUGGIN' RIGHT!!!

[@MrWayout74]

MrWayout74 On reflection Haigh Hall was ok but on the day support act Beck was way much more on form. Could've been the acid I was on at the time, but there you go.

[@timeismyeverything]

Early version of Come On is a nice bonus here.

[@jasonisamu9989]

baldragonmods rite fuk'n on!

[@sjhdfbasndf986]

Sounds better than the album version, as usual

[@sjhdfbasndf986]

The album version is a turd, as was the Haigh Hall performance of it.

[@harricain6434]

New Decade the song says it all, fucking legends 👌

[@ascent7]

best distortion tone ever....maybe RA knows deep down he can't get close to this again in his solo offerings.

[@tonysproule3408]

Camden 1992

[@sarsart4844]

I think you'll find that's Nick McCabe's tone

[@paolo-n2000]

RA is delusional when it comes to his solo material vs. the music / songs created with VERVE! It's hard to believe RA doesn't want to record new music with VERVE!!! They'd rule the world if they were still together as a band!

[@chrisbayes2972]

They were a fucking powerful force at this point. When listening to this, you have to question how Ashcroft managed to blow it so hugely in his subsequent solo career.

[@robrose73]

Three words. No Nick Mcabe

[@scookface]

they were absolutely amazing live at this point... before the oasis 'real rock'n'roll' thing destroyed them (like ride) and they started going trad instead of playing the incredible stuff they were doing at this point

[@harleyquinn5826]

Ashcroft's solo career just proves that he was for real all along. He treaded the road less taken and always put artistic integrity first and went against the tide and everything considered mainstream without caring about its commercial success. Always singing playing and talking for and by the music from the heart

[@paolo-n2000]

@@robrose73 - So TRUE....

[@lucasm3879]

Check out the performance of Slide Away at Glastonbury 95 on youtube too. I think personally '95 was the Verve at their peak, then they had a massive comedown induced by their hard partying and split.

[@buney]

Scary good. A unique and dying breed of English music!!

[@vausemike]

My twopenneth. The Verve make two stellar albums. Oasis come along and go global. Ashcroft thinks he wants a piece of that. Forced band to make Urban Hymns. Admittedly it works and makes them household names but it really isn't Verve type music. Band splits up. Ashcroft'a ego can't allow him to bow out. Blows it.

[@jasonisamu9989]

vausemik... Urban hymns is dope though!

[@patallison8137]

I'll go for that mayt...

[@claudeclaudius7971]

Urban Hymns is so far removed from Storm in Heaven it's like a different band. It's a Richard record. Unfortunately Richard got ego. The band was finished.

[@champ1114]

@@claudeclaudius7971 A lotta b sides and unreleased tracks from that time say different. Ashcroft blew it by becoming the mediocre singer songwriter style he used to loathe in the early days of verve and making the band only about him. The band was at the top of their game until Mccabe left again in 98.

[@tonysproule3408]

I agree it was a good album but much of it was very different from earlier work like "A Storm in Heaven" John Leslie's masterpiece.

theres verve band music and then there are the 'hits'...

Whatever happened to good music and free radio??
