"All in the Mind" was the Verve's debut single, out on Hut on 9 March 1992, from a band that had come together at college in Wigan. They cut it at Impact Studios in Canterbury, a barn done over as a studio, with Paul Schroeder, who had worked with the Stone Roses, producing and Steve Elswood engineering, and the whole band tripping on acid throughout, a choice Richard Ashcroft later regretted.
The result drew comparisons to Happy Mondays, with a nod to Echo & the Bunnymen, and reviews were mostly warm. It went to number one on the UK indie chart, Brian Cannon built the sleeve around a shoot in Wigan's Mesnes Park, and the band followed it by opening for Ride. Soon they had a Melody Maker front cover, and comments in NME had tagged Ashcroft "Mad Richard".
