Sony Music Australia web site seems to indicate that the Beekeeper Special Edition will be released in Australia; New Tori photo!
Posted Sat, Jan 22, 2005 - 1:40pm ET | Music
Daniel Nolan has pointed out to me a news item about Tori's new album The Beekeeper at the Sony Music Australia web site. Most of the information covers details we already know about, but the article does seem to indicate that the Special Edition version of The Beekeeper will be available in Australia as well as the regular version of the album. The article does not mention the seed packet that we know will be in the U.S. version, so we do not know if that will be part of the Special Edition overseas. (Certain laws regarding exporting things like seeds may prevent them from appearing in the overseas versions.) If you continue to look around the Sony Music Australia web site, you can find their artist page for Tori which includes a gallery of photos. One of these photos is the new Beekeeper photo!

Not anything really informative, but I wanted to report it for completeness sake. [Click for details...]
