DESCRIPTION

Tales Of A Librarian is Tori's first compilation album spanning her decade-long solo career. The two-disc, CD/DVD collection - which Amos describes as a musical "autobiography" - was produced by Amos and includes songs chosen by the multiple Grammy Award-nominated artist from her Atlantic career. There are two different released versions of the album, the CD/DVD set and just a CD version. The album was released on November 18, 2003 (US) on the Atlantic Records label. It is comprised of newly revamped earlier works as well as two new tracks, Snow Cherries From France and Angels. For more in depth information about the album, read the official press release as well as the electronic press kit, thanks to The Dent and Yessaid.com!

  • QUOTES

    "I'm referring to it more as a 'best-of' because I think to have a 'Greatest Hits' you need like ten Top Ten hits. This is more of a chronicle of what we know of Tori from 1990 to 2003...So it's from her perspective of the last many years, having traveled around the world and going through her own personal stuff. And the songs do that. Maybe it's the closest thing to an autobiography of this woman's life that there's ever been."
    --Tori; Rollingstone.com 09/05/03

    "It includes things like Precious Things and of course Silent All These Years, Cornflake Girl, Spark, songs that people might be familiar with on one level. And then there are quite a lot of songs that I felt gave you more story and a bit of sizzle with variations musically. It had to represent a whole musical spectrum because that's very much a part of the story. It's not just the ballads. It's not just what you heard on the radio."
