Double LP Features Controversial Hit Song "Bitter Sweet Symphony"!

Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Songs of All Time - "Bitter Sweet Symphony" - Rated 392/500!

This highly acclaimed alt rock / space rock album was originally released in 1997. The recording earned critical praise and went on to become one of the best selling albums of the year featuring the chart-topper "Bitter Sweet Symphony".

"The Case: The Verve had a major smash with their dreamy "Bitter Sweet Symphony." Vocalist Richard Ashcroft penned the song's lyrics, but the instrumental backing was partially sampled from a symphonic version of the Rolling Stones' song "The Last Time," recorded in 1965 by the Andrew Oldham Orchestra. The band had originally agreed to license a five-note segment of the recording in exchange for 50 percent of the royalties, but former Rolling Stones' manager Allen Klein claimed the Verve voided the agreement by using a larger section than they agreed to use. ABKCO Records, Klein's holding company, filed a plagiarism suit on behalf of himself and "The Last Time" songwriters Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.

"The Verdict: The Verve forfeited all of the songwriting royalties and publishing rights to ABKCO, and the song credit reverted to Jagger and Richards. "We were told it was going to be a 50/50 split," recalled Verve bassist Simon Jones. "Then they saw how well the record was doing. They rung up and said we want 100 percent or take it out of the shops, you don't have much choice.""
