Comment
These are the legendary "Urban Hymns" demos recorded by Richard Ashcroft during 1996. Verve drummer Peter Salisbury plays drums on most tracks, and most likely Simon Tong plays as well although no one is sure of the lineup other than Ashcroft and Salisbury.
There are 3 songs from "Urban Hymns," two b-sides from that album, 3 tracks that a few years later would appear on Ashcroft's debut solo album, and eight unreleased tracks. Obviously, the absence of Nick McCabe from the proceedings is a negative, but the unreleased tracks and early versions of other songs make a nice addition to the Verve catalog. The last track is a 50-odd second news blip regarding the leak of these tapes, which occured before the release of "Urban Hymns." The website mentioned, I believe, is a still active Verve site called Verve Universe (http://www.odc.net/~ssharma/verve/).
