That is too weird. well, we don't know for sure that the tracklisting according to that undercover article is correct. while i'd say it's likely that they may have gotten it from the australian branch of atlantic records, they don't list a source so i think the jury's still out. assuming it is correct though... as for what songs are included, the press release had this to say: As sequenced by Amos, the songs - which Amos has always considered to be her children - form a unique personal narrative and a breathtaking view of an extraordinary body of work. so, tori's treating this as a musical autobiography. it's not a greatest hits or a singles collection. it's a retrospective of her career from her perspective. given that and what she's said "caught a lite sneeze" is about, i do agree it seems kinda strange that she would omit it. but there must be some reason. maybe she's picked another song that deals with that time of her life? woj ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 1 Oct 2003 11:54:46 -0400 From: erin martin Subject: new video/audio Hey guys-- Anybody know where to find new tori videos in realmedia?

I actually started my tour, with Tori Amos, right after Sept. 11. I was out there for two months. That actually ended up being a therapeutic good thing. Tori was good music to listen to and perform with after that. But I really believe that I, along with many other people, were in sort of a year-long depression or shockmostly shockafter that event. Then there was sort of a crash for me last summer that a lot of people in my circle went through, as well, that it took about a year for that incident to sink in. I really had to come back to New York and spend time in this city on another level. As opposed to the way that I did in Poses, which was partying a lot and treating New York as if it was 1927."

I don't know for sure (it was suggested by someone at a Tori board I frequently visit).. but MAYBE, since all the songs are going to be reworked at least a little bit.. maybe she thought "well, the fans are expecting everything to be reworked.. and CALS doesn't need any more reworking." ? just an idea. :) Sincerely, Cyndi S.

"Honey, it means no fat, no butter. Lite." "He was a lite sneeze, and not the flu. Guys would like to think they're the flu, but sometimes they're just a 'h'achoo'" hope that helps. :) meanwhile, I'm just glad we're getting something from Tori at all--and reworked tracks to boot.
