'This is Music: The Singles', is a compilation album by English alternative rock band The Verve. Originally released in November 2004, it featured two non-singles, tracks pulled from the sessions for their third album 'Urban Hymns': 'This Could Be My Moment' and 'Monte Carlo'. 2024 marks the 20th anniversary of the release of an album that has never been pressed on vinyl and, under the group's direction, this long overdue reissue replaces the bonus tracks with the powerful singles from the band's 2008 reunion album, 'Forth' - 'Love is Noise' and 'Rather Be' - as well as including their second single 'She's A Superstar' (1992) in its original, full-length, eight-and-a-half-minute form (rather than the five-minute edit). As such, the album now represents the complete story of The Verve's singles. Combustible, intense and highly influential, this stellar journey is finally available on wax, where, in its definitive form, it easily stands comparison with any other singles collection from the last three decades.
