A Storm In Heaven: Vinyl LP

Originally released in June 1993, The Verve’s debut album A Storm In Heaven, over the past two decades has come to be regarded as something of a psychedelic classic. Drenched in echo and reverb, it is highly atmospheric, extremely nuanced and, for many long-term fans, remains the band’s ‘lost’ masterpiece.

For a debut it was as adventurous and audacious as they come – with Richard Ashcrofts semi-hallucinatory lyrics of hope, love, isolation and insanity reflecting the burgeoning mood of a generation. Life under post-Thatcher Tory rule might have been grim, but as Ashcroft sang in Slide Away: These are our times and your highs.
