The Verve to re-release This Is Music: The Singles 92-98

In the late '90s, The Verve was permanently branded into the skin of pop culture, with “Bittersweet Symphony” appearing everywhere from Nike commercials to Cruel Intentions. Whether you scream in pain when you hear the song on the radio for the quillionth time, or find yourself inspired to take a jog upon hearing its violin intro, the fact remains that The Verve is working on new material.

Unfortunately, since the band just reformed this June, these fresh songs are not likely to be delivered until 2008. So, maybe something semi-new will suffice until then. Okay, not really new songs, but new packaging. On Dec. 3, the Brit group will re-release its 2004 singles record This Is Music: The Singles 92-98. However, unlike the last time the album was issued, this version will come with a DVD compiling the band's entire music-video catalog.
