[de] The Verve EP

The Verve EP ist das erste Extended Play der nordenglischen Band Verve (später umbenannt in The Verve). Es erschien am 1. Dezember 1992 und war die erste albumartige Veröffentlichung der Band. Die EP ist eine Zusammenstellung aus den z. T. editierten A- und B-Seiten der ersten drei Singles der Band, die zunächst nur in Nordamerika veröffentlicht werden sollte. Dennoch steht es mit einer Spieldauer von über 30 Minuten klassischen Albumlängen in nichts nach.
