A Northern Soul was The Verve's second (and penultimate) album (or their third if you count the Verve EP) and was released on July 3, 1995 (see 1995 in music). Unfortunately for the band the world was too concerned with the Oasis vs. Blur rivalry for this to be a major success. Album Cover This work is copyrighted. ...
