I know that Tori has some unreleased songs hidden in the vaults somewhere. Songs such as: "Cooling" "To the Fair Motormaids of Japan" "Peeping Tommy" are recorded songs but they are unreleased. Tori cut 35 tracks for BfP and only 18 was on the record. Now the Cals and Talula singles had some B-sides, however it was only a couple that was released...unlike LE or UtP when essentially another album's worth of songs was released as B-sides. So I guess I could count all the different Tori songs in my collection and give a rough estimate as to how many songs she has released but I really have to go to class now. Sorry. Mickey PS I think you are talking about Jewel as the artist who has 200 songs out there. Officially, Jewel only has an album's worth of songs released. The other 150 are available in bootlegs, not commercially. - ---------- From: owner-precious-things@smoe.org on behalf of MaLjaMiN Sent: Thursday, November 21, 1996 7:36 AM To: precious-things@smoe.org Subject: songs tally-sman hey, someone mentioned someone who isn't tori having 200 songs out there, which made me curious how many tori's done...

So, can someone fill me in on this? Due to various reasons I have had to skip large amounts of digests and I feel a bit uninformed about "I'm on fire". There seems to be an enhanced CD (or CD plus, if you will) around which plays a video of this song, but I'm wondering: is that a CD-single, or the full "Crossroads" CD? I have got a "Crossroads" CD promo, but that does not contain a CD-ROM part.

I don't listen to M Manson as often as you do, but I can respect them for their artistry and their incrddible theatrical presence. I have no problem with them, but I found your comments to be insulting. But, I don't hate you...

I was wondering if you guys could do me a favor.

Ok, to whom ever asked this original question: > < down EVERY format (i.e.: import 12" cd1 cd 2, US promo cd 12" cd maxi > single, etc.etc.) or should i just wait until a "party of five" promo > comes my way?>> I have the BT: Featuring Tori Amos Blue Skies CD with Radio Edit, Rabbit in the Moon Phanthomless Mix [say that 5 times fast! :], Deep Dish Blue Phunk Mix, Deep Dish Blue Phunk Dub, & BT's Liquid Oxygen Dub. I consider it well worth the $9.99 I payed for it, but I am definitely not going hunting around for all those little rarities. > What is BT? Alas I cann't figure it out! Ok, BT is this neat guy who knows Tori pretty well I guess and he does a lot of remixes of her mixes. Some things he has done is Talula, Professional Widow, and of course, Blue Skies. I think out of all the guys that have done any mixes of her songs that BT is the best. I think he is coming out with a compilation soon, too. So, we'll have to check that out. Apparently it won't have any new Tori stuff on it, but its one of those great CD's to...well...dance to. Hope I could help! > Maybe I'm not the only one with this problem:) > ~Erin Oh, by the way, you'll get used to all these little acronyms soon enough...don't worry...(UTP, CALS, MAAG, BFP...the list goes on. Those are pretty much the basics you'll need to survive around here though!) :P ------------------------------ From: tori-ani@juno.com Date: Thu, 21 Nov 1996 20:04:33 EST Subject: Re: Tori covers list Hello All, I'm new to the list and I had a couple more to add to the Tori covers list. I have an import with Mary on it. I don't know who wrote it..but at the end it's "even the wind cries your name"... I also have Tori reading Sarah Sylvia Cynthia Stout..a poem by Shel Silvestein. I don't know if that would count. :) Melissa ************************************************************************************************************** "I'll say she should make men lick her enterprise.
