It has been twenty years since the colossal global success of The Verve's era-defining Urban Hymns and it remains one of the biggest selling British albums of all time. Photographer Chris Floyd was embedded with the band during their meteoric rise from late 1996 to 1997. He documented the recording, touring and promoting of the album in Britain, Ireland and the USA - the only photographer to have such access. This is the first time his photographs from that time have been published, with most completely unseen.
