It's Gotta Be Big: Tori Amos to Expand "Boys for Pele," 20 Years Later

October 10, 2016 By Mike Duquette Leave a Comment

BUY NOW FROM AMAZON.COM

In honor of its 20th anniversary, Rhino Records is expanding and reissuing Tori Amos' third album, Boys for Pele, with a host of rare and unreleased bonus tracks.

Her first self-produced album after splitting with producer and partner Eric Rosse, Boys for Pele (named for the Hawaiian fire goddess) found Amos taking the power back from the male figures in her life. "I was at the point I could not answer to anybody," she said of her bid for independence. "I'd been answering my whole life to some patriarchal figure."

Recorded primarily in an Irish church, the record's diverse musical palate (featuring Amos on vocals, piano, harmonium, clavichord and harpsichord, plus arrangements for strings, brass, church bells and even bagpipes) and hyper-personal lyrics attracted fans old and new (it became her first Top 10 album and, at No. 2, her highest-charting in the U.S.)--even as it polarized and confounded members of the critical establishment.

The expanded Boys for Pele will feature new liner notes penned by Amos and a 21-track bonus disc of demos, B-sides and alternate versions, four of which ("To the Fair Motormaids of Japan," "Sucker," a remix of "Talula" and an alternate take of "In the Springtime of His Voodoo") are previously unreleased. The reissue will be out November 18; the same day, a double vinyl reissue of the original album will also be available.

After the jump, you'll find order links and a full track list!

Michael Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he discovered there was more than one version of John Williams' soundtrack to E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, with bylines on catalog at Discogs, City Pages and Ultimate Prince and credits on titles including the Grammy-winning 'Squeeze Box: The Complete Works of "Weird Al" Yankovic.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with an ever-expanding collection of music.
