Verve EP was the first studio release by The Verve, released in 1992 for Hut Recordings. At 31 minutes, the EP is closer to a full-length album. The record is comprised of songs that never appear on another The Verve album, with the exception of a live version of "Gravity Grave" on the b-side collection No Come Down.
The EP was voted at #4 on Rate Your Music's list of top EPs for 1992 [1]. It is heavily in the style of shoegazer music, the forerunner to the bands later musical genre, Britpop. Nick McCabe's guitar work is prominent throughout the album, whether on distortion and up front ("She's a Superstar") or on clean guitar and in the background ("Man Called Sun").
