Mix CD #23 - Here, In My Head: Tori Amos B-Sides & Rarities

I've been wanting to do an artist specific blog for a while now but was unsure who. I was also wanting to get around to another B-sides & rarities mix so I thought I may as well kill two birds with one stone and combine the two themes.
I've been a  massive Tori Amos fan for 25 years now and she's also probably the most prolific non-album track releaserer I know, which makes her perfect for this kind of thing.

I've whittled this list down from easily over 150 tracks that's she's released over the last 25/30 years, and that's not including live stuff or remixes. I've tried to take songs from as wide a spectrum as possible and, in doing so, I've passed over quite a lot fantastic songs in favour of merely good ones. Them's the breaks I guess.

As is the norm, I've written a fascinating little anecdote for each track that you can pore over intently below.

Mix CD #4 - Rarities Vol 1: The Never-Played Symphonies

This is a collection of Non-album tracks: B-Sides, compilation tracks, stand alone singles, rarities and a couple of unreleased songs. I've got a big stack of these songs so I would imagine there'll be more mixes like this in the future. In the meantime though, I hope you find something you like on this one. 

I've put the tracklisting above the cut so don't have to read my twaddle if you don't want to. Click Read More if you fancy a twaddling.
