LOS ANGELES - At the time of her debut in 1992, Tori Amos' captivating
storytelling and quirky yet sublime mix of piano, pop, rock, and classical music were as conspicuous as her flaming-red ringlets among the dark-haired pop divas who ruled the charts. Since then, Amos' uncompromising studio albums and cathartic concerts have earned her recognition as one of the most influential artists of the past two decades while inspiring a legion of devoted fans. Rhino Records brings together Amos' classics, rarities, remixes, and previously unreleased music for A PIANO: THE COLLECTION. Presented in deluxe packaging that resembles a piano's keyboard, this five-disc boxed set is available September 26 at regular retail outlets and at www.rhino.com for a suggested price of $74.98.
 Produced by Amos, the career-spanning collection highlights selections from her studio albums as well as B-sides and songs that debuted on Tales of a Librarian, a recent 'Best of' compilation. Featuring numerous unreleased songs, the boxed set contains a total of 86 tracks that combine well-known studio versions with rare alternate mixes, including several songs Amos remixed for this project. A PIANO: THE COLLECTION also offers a revealing and extensive track-by-track commentary penned by Amos, who discusses the inspiration behind the songs and albums and explains why they were chosen for this boxed set.
The compilation's first disc includes an extended version of Amos' 1992
debut, Little Earthquakes. The classic album has been augmented not only with a different song sequence and alternate mixes but it also features its four original B-sides "Upside Down," "Take To The Sky (Russia)," "Sweet Dreams," and an alternate mix of "Flying Dutchman," as well as the previously unreleased, unedited single version of "Crucify."
 Spotlighting music recorded between 1994 and 1996, the second disc includes songs from Under the Pink and Boys for Pele. The 18 tracks blend original and remixed versions of albums cuts with the B-side "Honey" and "Professional Widow" performed live. Also included is "Take Me With You," an unreleased song intended for Little Earthquakes. "At the time I just couldn't finish it," writes Amos in the liner notes. "When we found it, there were no lyrics to speak of, just music. So you'll have something partly recorded in 1990 but with a vocal recorded in 2006."
