Tales Of A Librarian: The definite track listing!
Posted Sat, Oct 25, 2003 - 1:00am ET | Music
There has been some confusion about the track listing to the Music CD part of Tori's upcoming Tales Of A Librarian due to the fact that different vendor web sites have been posting different things. The earliest track listing report posted to the Dent came from a source at Warner Music Australia by way of Trent Titmarsh, and was also posted at Undercover.com.au. That track listing is still the definitive one for the music CD part of the new collection. This same track listing has now been posted to the TOAL listings at Amazon.com (Thanks Stefan), Amazon.co.uk (Thanks Samantha), eil.com (Thanks Marc Silva) and at hmv.co.uk (Thanks Peter Starski). You will see a different track listing posted to some of the other vendor web sites, but those are most often a combination of some of the songs from the Music CD along with some of the tracks on the Bonus DVD. Click the details link for a closer look at the CD and DVD track listing and for the reason why some of the track listings posted at some web sites are misleading. [Click for details...]

Tales Of A Librarian: The cover
Posted Wed, Oct 22, 2003 - 12:50am ET | Music
I think I know why there are two different versions out there for the cover to Tales Of A Librarian. Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk are now both showing the cover you see below to the left as the cover that will be used for the version of the album that includes the Bonus DVD. The cover to the right is shown by Amazon.co.uk for a version of the new album that will NOT contain the DVD. I guess the different covers will help you differentiate the DVD version of the album from the non-DVD version. We have only seen the non-DVD version listed at Amazon.co.uk. Amazon.com in the U.S. only lists the DVD version.
