When I discovered The Verve a few years ago, it was a very important musical shock for me. To the point where it soon became my favourite band and I became slightly obsessed with their music. I recently started to dive deeper into their legacy and to collect everything I could find by them on the internet (b-sides, demos, bootlegs, …) which, considering the quality of their outtakes and the amazingness of their live performances, only contributed to increase the addiction.

This journal doesn't just offer me an overview of my collection. It is a tribute to The Verve and also serves as a good insight of The Verve's legacy for non-fans, newcomers, people who want to know more about this band or even fans. You'll find many videos here, their music videos and some of the highlights of their live history.

So, here is a detailed report of my Verve collection. By "collection" I mean, what I have on my computer and the way it is ordered in my library, because I can't afford to be a collector and most of the stuff here doesn't exist physically .
I only physically own the studio albums.

Hope you'll enjoy. Feel free to comment, to recommend the add of some videos and to ask questions.
