See a photo of Tori from the Mona Lisa Smile soundtrack booklet; The soundtrack became available on Fri, Nov 21, 2003 in many locations!
Posted Sun, Nov 23, 2003 - 2:17am ET | Music
Update: I have added a scan of a photo of Tori that appears in the album booklet of the Mona Lisa Smile soundtrack. The photo shows how Tori will look in the movie itself. Check it out! Many thanks to Beth Nac mac Feegle for the scan.
We were told that the official release date for the Mona Lisa Smile soundtrack was Tuesday, November 25, 2003. However, I have received several reports that the album was released, at least in some locations, on Friday, November 21, 2003 instead! Amazon.com changed the release date to November 21, and now says the album is available and ships within 24 hours. I also have a report of the album being available at Barnes & Noble. While it seems odd for albums to be released in the U.S. on a Friday, they could be releasing it early because of the Thankgiving holiday nexy week. In any case, you might go looking for the album now if you really want it! You can read all the details about the Mona Lisa Smile soundtrack and some facts about the movie on the Dent's Mona Lisa Smile page, which also includes a photo of Tori from the movie!

Tori's new album, Tales Of A Librarian, was released today (November 18, 2003) in the U.S. and Canada! I purchased my copy at Midnight and will be posting a small review shortly. The album was released yesterday, November 17, 2003, in the U.K. Reports seem to indicate that most U.K. stores had BOTH the DVD version and the version without the DVD. I am not sure why Amazon.co.uk still says the DVD version is delayed, unless the delay just involves them for some reason!

You can now find 2 exclusive tracks you can access at the iTunes Music Store
Posted Tue, Nov 18, 2003 - 11:42am ET | Music
The new tracks at the iTunes Music Store are Putting The Damage On (Reconditioned Version) and Pretty Good Year (Live from Sound Check). They also have all of Tales Of A Librarian to download. The catch with the new tracks however is the fact that you have to buy the entire album at $11.99 in order to hear the two tracks. The bonus tracks are not available at this time as individual downloads, which is unfortunate. (The other tracks from TOAL are available for individual downloads.) The iTunes Music Store has also added a special artist page for Tori that includes these downloads, as well as a small bio, and a selection of artists they label as influencers and Contemporaries. It is nice to see Tori getting so much attention there! If you need to find out more about the iTunes Music Store, which is available for Windows and Macintosh, or download the program, click here. If you have iTunes installed, click on this button to go directly to the Tori Amos artist page.
