Released in July 1995, The Verve’s A Northern Soul remains one of the era’s finest rock albums—an intense, brooding record that captured both the band’s turbulent chemistry and their formidable live power. Produced by Owen Morris, it showcases Richard Ashcroft, Nick McCabe, Simon Jones and Pete Salisbury at their most uncompromising, blending heavy grooves with psychedelic flourishes and affecting melodies.
Though initially overlooked by mainstream press and radio, the album has since earned cult status on both sides of the Atlantic, with tracks like This Is Music, On Your Own and History highlighting Ashcroft’s growing songwriting brilliance and hinting at what would follow on Urban Hymns.
This 30th anniversary edition—pressed on red opaque vinyl using the acclaimed 2016 remaster—celebrates a landmark moment in The Verve’s legacy.
