I recieved a letter from Tom Richards explaining the whole fiasco. Somehow, I was one of the last lucky ones that got my order filled--although it was months and months late. He claimed that there were a handful of orders that he actually got--the rest were stolen by his assistant. My order was overlooked by the assistant somehow...I got my full order plus some extra Tori goodies--he said that the extras were to make up for the wait. I dont know if he was telling the truth about the assistant (he may very well be telling the truth!) and I dont know why my order was filled when so many people got the shaft. But I do know that MANY people got screwed over and the whole thing was a black eye to Tori's image if you ask me. It is a damn shame. I dont think that anybody got their money back because he claimed that he had no record of the people's orders because the assistant destroyed the evidence...

Toodles. It's non-negotiable." -- Tori Amos ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 3 Oct 2000 15:06:33 EDT From: Lisa071573@aol.com Subject: Re: upside down fanclub hmmmm.. that's very interesting.. I had had good luck with him for a while until the whole thing dropped off the face of the planet. In like 95 I ordered a whole bunch of stuff - including the China single and a SATY single... what happened was I had also ordered the Biography but when he sent my shipment he forgot to send the Bio.. so I called him on the phone and spoke to him personally and he sent me the Bio along with an autographed pic of Tori and a handwritten note apologizing. Which is why I found the whole thing rather odd when all of sudden there were no more issues and no communication from him. strange strange..
