A clarification on my comments about the "Strange Little Girl" single
I have noticed that a few people are confused about my reports about the "Strange Little Girl" single. Click here to read a clarification of my reports about this single.
| Sunday, December 30, 2001 |
Looks like the Strange Little Girl single will NOT be officially released in the U.K. or the U.S, meaning that Strange Little Girls will not have any singles at all!
This is hardly a surprise, but amazon.co.uk no longer has the Strange Little Girl single listed on their web site. Earlier, they said it would come out in the U.K. on December 31. They have also sent emails to all the people who ordered it saying that the single has been cancelled. We earlier gave up on any hope for a release of this single in the U.S. This will be the first Tori album ever that did not include an officially released single. I am guessing that Tori leaving Atlantic could be the main reason. If this changes, I will let you know.
No vinyl version of the Strange Little Girls album
Earlier in the year there were plans to release a vinyl version of the Strange Little Girls album. However, sources now tell me that there are no plans to release a vinyl version of the album in the U.S. or Europe.

Archetypes and Wine: Tori Amos Roundtable Interview
On September 10, 2001 in New York City, Atlantic Records sponsored a round-table discussion with Tori and 11 journalists that was designed to introduce Stange Little Girls. One of the journalists was Zaedryn Meade, who has placed a transcript of the entire discussion on musiqqueen.com. A little of this has been seen in other articles already (like one at launch.com), but this is the entire interview uncut. I strongly urge you to read this interview. Her answers are fascinating...

The character for "Strange Little Girl" has been changed!
Actually, it is the text on her shirt. It originally said "Adam kiss my Eve" and now says "Satin Worship". Obviously there must have been some copyright issues that caused them to change what was written on Tori's shirt! You can see the photo at the hmv.co.uk web site. If any of you have promo CDs with the old text on her shirt, keep it because it could become a collector's item! (Thanks J'ason.)
