Not a patch on their first and the only redeeming features are the guitar work of Nick McCabe who is a bona fide fookin’ genius.
The slower tracks like ‘life’s and ocean’ demonstrate this perfectly. -

I bought this edition at the time of release. What is there to say? This album is a masterpiece and the B-sides from the singles of the album are worth hearing as well.
Brilliant band.
Love them. -
The cover art is just exceptional good. The music do the same. Actually worth to pay some 100 euro more as long you are a strong fan.

Yes, The Verve, the super mega indie pop band that knew fame when they started to loose it. Even if "Bitter Sweet Symphony" isn't a bad track, "Urban Hyms", their best-seller album, is very poor when you know their music from the beginning. "A Northern Soul" is their masterpiece, this evidence seems to surface lately; mags like Stylus expressed the same opinion in a very beautiful article I posted 10 days ago or so. That music is drug infused psychedelia with absolutely no restrain, an ode to this senseless shitty life filled with disillusions, pains, absurdities & broken hearts; but regained thru the haze of the incredible guitar riffs of Nick McCabe who's influence on the band's compositions, directions & sound was very strong before being castrated by a (on his way to become) megalomaniac Richard Ashcroft; megalomania that will kill the extraordinary band's identity; only this record remains to testify that those four guys touched the sky and above. This LP is the "Bitches Brew" of rock, the missing link between jazz & rock'n'roll. Certainly decadent, it's no less than a genuine masterpiece that should find its place alongside "Loveless" or "Laughing Stock"… Highly Recommended !!!

why remasters????? it sounded great when released..... what is this re-mastering fever???? i prefer to keep my original releases form back in the day ,,,, i have heard plenty of remasters which end up sounding sterile ,,,, like the magic is gone,,,,

Edited 5 years agoI have 2 copies of this, the vinyl on both looks virtually mint but both have a bit of hiss/crackle in the quieter parts, wonder if they are meant to be like it?!
Can also confirm that the black part on the front cover is very delicate and wears away revealing the silver underneath -
what numbskull paid £640 for this! you need your head read mate!!! I like this album, but it doesn't seem to gel that well. I'm sure it's been said before, but it's like they were going through a transition from their debut album to Urban Hymns. -
anyone have more info on this reissue? like is it going to be a remastered version? what source are they using?
