One thing that really gets me about this story: Everyone is always lining up to complain about Jagger/Richards taking all the credit for this song.
However, it wasn't really them. What they forget is that it is Klien who takes the money. Ashcroft must know this yet he still complains about this whole Jagger Richards thing.
A public disavowal would have done wonders. Instead we get Keith saying things like, "I'm out of whack here, this is serious lawyer shit. If The Verve can write a better song, they can keep the money". Using this logic, you could argue that all that's keeping The Last Time from being being credited to Traditional (for the chorus)/Brian Jones (for the guitar hook) is a good lawyer.

Ascraft's great insight of it being the best Jagger/Richards song for twenty years will be remembered. As it was at the time.

The lyrics being written to an already existing melody as found on the ALO Last Time, which is essentially a slowed down version of the stones own recording.

A typical Kleinian move I guess.

The stones should feel happy that they inspired, with some borrowing just like they have done, someone to come up with something so good.

Thing is, Jagger and Richards - to my knowledge - had no involvement with the orchestrated version of 'The Last Time'. So, I don't see how 'inspired' can come into it on their part.
Anyway, how many of the thousands-upon-thousands who adore 'Bittersweet Symphony' is actually aware that it samples an incredibly obscure Stones-related instrumental? Probably only the Abcko lawyers and the handful discussing it here.
IMO, Jagger and Richards should’ve interjected and helped The Verve out. They should’ve leant their support. As Doxa has pointed out earlier: it’s the Stones who came out of this mess badly.

They played the song after the shows in Europe 1999 over the PA.
Maybe the Stones camp wanted to show something.
