Watch: The Verve – “South Pacific” Video
Previously Unreleased Track from A Storm in Heaven Reissue Due Out September 9
Aug 13, 2016
The Verve
Listeners who only know The Verve of “Bittersweet Symphony” and their 1997 hit third album Urban Hymns might be surprised to hear their debut album, 1993’s A Storm in Heaven, which was more shoegaze/space-rock in nature than the songs and album that later topped the charts. The album is finally getting the deluxe reissue treatment, alongside 1995 sophomore album A Northern Soul, on September 9 and the 4CD set includes two previously unreleased studio recordings: “Shoeshine Girl” and “South Pacific.” The latter now has a music video featuring footage of the band recording A Storm in Heaven captured by its producer John Leckie. A more rocking live version of “South Pacific” appeared on the Volume 7 compilation, also in 1993, but this is the first time the studio version has been released. Watch below, via The Guardian (who premiered it).
