The Verve Voyager 1 Vinyl Record RSD 2025 New/Sealed Ltd Edition
THE VERVE Voyager 1 (Record Store Day 2025 UK/EU limited edition 6-track LP on classic black vinyl. Originally released in 1993 in a run of just 1000 copies Voyager 1 was a band-approved pseudo-bootleg capturing Verves early live power before their debut album. Recorded in London and New York in 1992 it includes raw extended versions of Slide Away Gravity Grave and Shes A Superstar plus the long-lost track South Pacific. This reissue is remastered from the original tapes with lacquers cut at Abbey Road Studios. A vital document of Verves psychedelic beginnings - intense immersive and now making a welcome return to vinyl exclusively for RSD 2025. Picture sleeve with hype sticker factory sealed. Recommended) Track Listing: Voyager 1 can reasonably be described as a ‘pseudo-bootleg’ album in that it was a band-endorsed official recording designed to look like an unofficial pirate release (and given the catalogue number Jolly Roger 2 accordingly). Made to introduce the band to the American market via Virgin’s then-newly inaugurated US ‘indie’ label Vernon Yard Recordings the music it presented was recorded in concert in London and New York during 1992 and and issued prior to their debut album A Storm In Heaven the following year. As a live band Verve (as they were then-known before they were forced to change their name by legal action from the US jazz imprint of the same name) were already a significant force. Simon Jones’ bass and Pete Salisbury’s in-the-pocket drums provide a substantial foundation for Nick McCabe’s virtuoso guitar work which deftly blends feedback delay and reverb to sound like several instruments at once while singer Richard Ashcroft rides the groove; swooping raging and providing ad-libs in compelling manner. The versions of two of their UK indie number one singles ‘She’s A Superstar’ and ‘Gravity Grave’ are more rugged than their studio counterparts the dynamics between the changes more intense while the three cuts that were later included on their debut album - ‘Slide Away’ ‘One Way To Go’ and ‘Already There’ - provide a breathless psychedelic experience that few of their peers were ever able to match. The sixth track South Pacific is the one song that remained unreleased in studio form for over 20 years (until the ‘A Storm In Heaven’ boxed set in 2015) and is aptly described by Brian Horgea on allmusic.com as “like an ocean crashing down around your ears.” Limited to 1000 copies in its original form (although legend has it that several hundred were damaged in transit making it even more scarce) this reissue has been mastered from the original analogue sources and the lacquers cut by Geoff Pesche at Abbey Road Studios.
