If not, let me know because my vinyl copy of Hejira does still have a very good cover. The thing is, I'd have to take it to Kinkos to scan because my scanner bed isn't that large. I'd be happy to do it if you still need it. Do you need front, back and inside gatefold?

From drownedinsound review about Tori Amos' latest album "Abnormally Attracted To Sin" : Now let me get this straight; Drowned in Sound is not advocating the actual killing of helpless baby animals, itbs a purely metaphorical concept, but itbs a useful one in this situation. Because by the time the tricky middle section is finished, peppered with the more distinctive and memorable 'Mary Jane' and 'Fast Horse', youbve almost lost enough focus to miss some really stunning work in the closing moments. 'Lady in Blue' in particular, is a melodic tour-de-force coupled with a lounge jazz/ broadway-esque production that puts recent Joni Mitchell to shame. Then, as the final, dischordant piano stabs finish on 'Lady in Blue', we are treated to a period of space, and the understated melancholy of 'Oscarbs Theme' begins. Itbs a moment of peace and a perfect ending to an album, but it is marred by the fact that it should have come half an hour ago. Complete article : http://www.drownedinsound.com/releases/14398/reviews/4136766 I myself think that this album is not my favorite. But yes, "Lady In Blue" is a strong track. Give it a try. The first verse of the lyric made me think about Joni, though the rest of it clearly shows it is not. excerpt: Cigarettes recommended "Need a Light to use?" said the Lady in Blue after the rain Rian NP.
