I only implied that when I saw the track list for "Rarities" that it was not going to make everyone happy. I have been a Tori fan long enough (about 12 years) to know that she will release whatever material she wants to, whenever she wants to. I do, in fact, agree with some of the things you said here (below). I am a collector, too, but I tend to stick with the "official" materials, Little Blue World, and the magazine articles. I don't have the time to keep up with all the concert bootlegs that circulate. I do not think it will be terribly hard for me to same some $$ to buy "Rarities." All I have to do is quit buying things that many consider to be "crap" for awhile. ;D I, for one, sometimes get tired of the complaining. People are entitled to their opinions--agree/disagree. That's one purpose of this-and other-discussion lists. Yes indeed, it is so true that not all fans can be pleased all the time. For example- I, for one, adored the heck out of "The Beekeeper" (although my favorite CD of hers is "Choirgirl Hotel") when so many of her other fans couldn't take it. ;-) I "grow" with Tori's music, right along with her. :-) Looking forward to the next NEW release (she is at work on it, I do believe)-- Lorna - -----Original Message----- From: Michael Earp Subject: Re: [pt] Rarities I just thought I had to say something about all this complaining. Firstly, when has a greatest hits/box set/thing EVER been what EVERY fan/listener wants? It's impossible. Secondly, what about the fans (such as myself) that love the remixes, and wish to collect as many official ones as possible? Thirdly, the press release said The Collection Reveals Amos Classics, Rarities, B-Sides and Unreleased Tracks for a Five-Disc, Career-Spanning Box Set which is exactly what it does from my point of view. It has all those things and in good measure for such a collection. Forthly, in my opinion, Tori is a story teller, and she wouldn't have picked these tracks if they didn't tell a story. I look at this as a musical answer to 'Piece By Piece' and with the linear notes I am very excited to see the narritive that these selected pieces put together. And lastly, where is it written that you have to buy it? If you like the look of it (which I very much do) then buy it, if you don't, spend your money on something else. If you're a collecter (like I am) then you will be happy to spend any amount of your small income (like mine) on an official release especially if it's a new one that you can get in mint condition. Otherwise you might pick it up a bit cheaper in a few years on e-bay or in a second hand shop. All in all, my opinion is that Tori could release ANYTHING and would still upset some of her fans. So if you want the new stuff enough you should bite you tongue and buy it because nothing's going to change from you complaining anyway. I'm sorry, but I thought it was time something good was said about it and my ony gripe is that I live in australia and won't get it as soon as all you in the States and the UK. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 2 Jul 2006 18:58:09 -0400 From: "AngieZ."
