The Verve recently put out a deluxe 20th anniversary reissue of the British band’s classic 1997 album Urban Hymns (the one with “Bittersweet Symphony,” “The Drugs Don’t Work,” and “Lucky Man” on it). It includes various unreleased tracks and demos, but now, as Stereogum reports, even more unreleased tracks not included in the reissue have mysteriously surfaced on YouTube. They include the previously unreleased songs “All Ways Are Maybes,” “Wednesday Madness,” “Jalfrezi,” “Original Insanity,” “King Riff 2,” “Tina Turner,” and “Sweet & Sour.” And then there are alternate mixes and early demos of “Oh Sister” (eventually a B-side to “Bittersweet Symphony”) and Urban Hymns tracks “This Time,” “Neon Wilderness,” and “Sonnet.” Stereogum’s report speculates that perhaps one of the band’s members didn’t want the tracks included in the reissue and that the uploader got them from a friend at UMC, the label that put out the reissue. Listen to them all below now, before the label or band forces them to be taken down.
