Just to clear things up...I dont think there is any mention of a wooden box, but what differentiates the US edition of this from the UK edition is that it is 2 discs-An added live disc-totally official -you can even see the little "LC9896" tube thingie thats on all EU imports
Just make SURE you get the 2 disc IMPORT FROM THE EU!.
IT'S NOT A LIMITED CD!! DO NOT ORDER!
Don't get fooled too!. I ordered a limited edition in a wooden case and I received a completely standard jewel case version.
Frauds!!!
Many sellers are actually selling the Jewel-Case version as opposed to wood one featured! I got ripped off that way. Do not order this until you confirm with seller what you are getting.
Music is okay, Bliss is a great song, live album is very good, not Tori's best work otherwise, kind of slow and laborious.
LIES!
It was a huge pain dealing with a refund from this place. This album is great, too bad this seller is a fraud and has to deface the preciousness of Tori & this album. I am not even sure if I ever got a full refund? Nonetheless, DON'T ORDER FROM THEM. Just get the domestic release and hope someday you will run across the Limited Edition fraudulently listed here.
A unique release of a stellar CD.
The first disc finds Amos furthering her musical experimentations. Quite simply, an otherwordly double CD experience. This CD marks the first time she recorded with her touring band of Matt Chamberlain on drums, Jon Evans on bass, and long-time collaborator Steve Caton on guitar. Amos not only continues her instrumentation experimentation, but also delves further than her previous effort's, "from the choirgirl hotel," electronic tinkerings. Relying this time on her piano, keyboards, band, and computer technology, Amos weaves her intricate musical world together with the same mysticism and soul as all her previous efforts. Highlights from disc one include "Bliss," "concertina," "glory of the 80's," and "Josephine. " Disc two gives the fans what they had been longing for: her first ever live album. The disc contains many of Amos's concert standards and hits spanning her solo career. Recorded during her concert tour in 1998, the first tour with a full band, Amos showcases her many talents and passion for music. This generous helping of Amos live closes out an intergalactic journey into the heart and mind of a truly complex musician. Highlights on the second disc include "Precious Things," "Cooling," "Sugar," and "Waitress. " This limited edition of the set comes in a wooden box with an etched portrait of the songstress.
