Tori Amos

Maybe this is me being completely oblivious, but I never realized that the deluxe versions of of the first 3 albums are now absilutely impossible to find? I'm sure I saw them in multiple stores and now they have disappeared from the web? Wild.

LE Deluxe - https://www.discogs.com/release/6908387-Tori-Amos-Little-Earthquakes

UTP Deluxe - https://www.discogs.com/release/6908547-Tori-Amos-Under-The-Pink

BFP Deluxe - https://www.discogs.com/release/9407767-Tori-Amos-Boys-For-Pele

The UTP deluxe is a bit of a mess. The first batch of CD’s contained a massive channel drop out half way through The Wrong Band that didn’t fix itself until Cornflake Girl. Rhino sent out a batch of replacement CD’s if you complained.

The live version of Upside Down on the second disc is not the version that was originally on Past The Mission single, recorded on the Pink tour. It’s actually an edited version of the recording from the Bliss single, recorded in 1998

What, really?? What a mess indeed!

What, really?? What a mess indeed!

I think it was an error on Rhino's part, confusing the two different live versions of "Upside Down" from different singles.

Rhino never actually put the corrected version on the deluxe edition of Under the Pink. That's why on streaming and digital releases all the other live tracks have a date in the title, but Upside Down is just "Upside Down (Live)" without any dates next to it. I imagine it would have been too much hassle for Rhino to license the correct live version and update/replace all the copies of the release.

S'Magic Day made me cry a few times. It is beautiful.

My friend Nico: “I don’t really know shit about this bitch… I know she’s a part of the Faerie Trinity with Bush and Björk… um, there’s a zebra, some cereal… um, strawberries or raspberries? Those are the only words coming to me right now… what about the time you saw her live and she was like, a character or some shit? And you never know what you’re gonna get? Like a box of Cracker Jacks…?”

Chorigirl turns 27 today! Martian Studios posted a little photo carousel on their Instagram. No mention of a reissue or remaster - probably the most requested Tori release at this point? - but they definitely read their comments so I'm hoping people keep mentioning it.
