From A Storm in Heaven (1993). A Storm in Heaven is the debut studio album by English rock band the Verve, released on 21 June 1993 on Hut Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Vox AC30HW2X Hand-Wired, the rig we use for The Verve's other songs from A Storm in Heaven, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
