I haven't bought the regular cd yet, b/c I want to get everything I'm supposed to with it. So what's supposed to come with it, and do you have to buy one or 2 cds to get it? - -Lisa - ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Monday, November 04, 2002 10:15 PM Subject: question about Scarlet Stories > > I ordered my cds from hmv.com - the single, the ltd, and the > regular cd which they were selling with the Scarlet Stories disc > included.

I got my CD today in the mail from hmv.com, and, like you, they sent me a separate copy of Scarlet Stories which seems to be indentical to the one included inside the 2CD jewel case with the album itself. The only explanations I can see are a screwup in the shipping department or maybe the copy of Scarlet Stories in the jewel case is defective somehow. I haven't tried playing it yet, so I don't know. Getting a copy of Scarlet Stories without needed to buy two copies of Scarlet's Walk was the reason I chose to order from HMV, but I hardly expected to get two of them. So I'll second that question... did the regular (non-limited) editions of Scarlet's Walk all come with Scarlet Stories in the jewel case too? A sticker on mine says, "HMV EXCLUSIVE Includes Bonus Scarlet's Walk Interview Disc," so maybe it's just some special deal HMV made with Sony?

I have too many windows and things flying around in my brain*L* HMV has a packaging deal for Scarlet's Walk. They were previously offering a copy of Scarlet's Stories with the purchase of Scarlet's Walk. The original plan was very obviously to ship the bonus disc with the single disc of SW, but when the "exclusive" packaging deal was reached.. that is what was shipped in your order. The SS disc is NOT defective.. They're merely completing the order of what you wanted. A Scarlet's Walk with bonus disc.. the only difference is HMV doesn't have any single disc SWs.. That's why you got the bonus disc and the double disc set. All non limited edition HMV Scarlet's Walk discs came with the Stories disc packaged in. The reason it's not listed on the site anymore.. is because they don't need to offer that.. It's already prepackaged in. Hope that helps clear things up. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 5 Nov 2002 16:05:27 -0800 From: Brian K Tanaka Subject: Re: Tori pix: Today Show?

The Scarlet Stories was a totally seperate cd. I didn't actually get one, since I don't need two copies of the same cd....but that's how the promo worked here. Consequently, if anyone didn't get the Scarlet Stories, and wants to DL the cd, I have the site. Just email me if you want the address. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 5 Nov 2002 20:37:05 EST From: HauntedIcicle@aol.com Subject: Re: question about Scarlet Stories In a message dated 11/05/2002 6:50:16 PM Eastern Standard Time, mcurry@io.com writes: > did the regular (non-limited) editions of > Scarlet's Walk all come with Scarlet Stories in the jewel case > too? No, they didn't. I bought mine (a regular copy) on 10/29... at Wal-Mart (of all places), because they had it the cheapest around here ... and it didn't include the Scarlet's Stories disc, unfortunately. :( I've been in quite a few stores that are selling both the regular and Limited Edition (which I picked up at Border's last Friday), and neither include SS. ~~Tilly ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 05 Nov 2002 23:22:33 -0500 From: dances with virgos Subject: cdnow review of scarlet's walk With her latest release, Scarlet's Walk, Tori Amos has produced perhaps the first post-9/11 album to question America rather than reaffirm our faith in it. The album, which Amos conceived while touring America right after "the Twins fell," as she puts it, follows the titular character, Scarlet, on a cross-country trip of her own. The farther she progresses on her journey, the more Scarlet comes to reexamine her beliefs, particularly about the motives that drive individual people -- as well as the very country these people live in. It's a bold move to write such an album in these possibly pre-war days, when the right to question our nation is seemingly not something we can take for granted. All of which makes Amos' decision to flesh out her music that much more unfortunate. The strength of her earlier material came from the nakedness of her music -- just her voice and her piano. Now that piano is often lost beneath guitars and drums, or simply traded for a wimpy keyboard. Consequently, her message, so powerful when unadorned, tends to get diluted by the awkward arrangements that accompany it. Lyrically and thematically, Amos still stands as a brave and unique voice. Musically, she now sounds like all the other female songwriters she once so easily surpassed.
