Tori specifically had the original "Talula" pulled from the album on the second and all subsequent pressings. She did the Tornado mix at nearly every show on the 1996 tour. Likewise, the Plugged version is based on the Tornado mix. /nm ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 16 Mar 2001 19:53:30 -0500 From: nmielke@mindspring.com Subject: Re: the Cohen tribute alb tori is featured on JNe9027355@aol.com wrote: > Hey, what's the title of it?

Tori's version of Leonard Cohens "Famous Blue Raincoat" is on the Cohen tribute album "Tower Of Song: The Songs Of Leonard Cohen" ~ which can usually be bought fairly inexpensively at half.com.

What is the shortest in duration CD made by Atlantic with Tori exclusively on it? And how long is it? Hint: It's a Promo. It is indeed the Holiday Greetings CD from 1995 - Atlantic PRCD6589. The CD has 6 tracks that last a total of 46 seconds. That makes each track approx. 7 seconds long plus the minimal gap between the tracks. These are how record co's get those nifty Holiday Greeting from their entertainers out to the stations. All 6 tracks are nondescript, meaning no dates are spoken by Tori so in reality you could play it year after year. I think it would be nifty to put on a home answering machine :-) Here's a sample greeting: Number 2 ~ "Hey there, this is Tori Amos wishing everybody a happy holiday and a Happy New Year."

Many people service their egos there and well, frankly, its boring & a waste of my time. I post here. I like you people :-) Mind you, this is just MY opinion.
