A Piano: The Collection [Box] by Tori Amos (CD, Sep-2006, 5 Discs, Rhino Records USA)

it's a perfect mix of all her best songs, classics, unreleased material with some B-sides tossed in. While it's a comprehensive introduction to the new Tori fan, it's also a great package for the die-hard. The package (box) is creative for a box set, and the booklet informative as well.

Nice set. Box was alittle more worn than described. Still a very nice buy. Thank You. Would purchase from this seller again.

Excellent collection for every Tori Amos fun. Especially disc E is very good! I think it's worth the money...

I am a huge Tori Amos fan who would recommend this collection to anyone. It contains Tori classics as well as demos, b-sides and remixes. A must have for every Tori fan.

Love the collection is a great collection of all her great music. There isn't any negatives in this one.

I purchase the Tori Amos box set thru ebay about a month ago. I was very impressed with the price and quality of the set. It was completely sealed with details about her collection. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Tori Amos has provided a unique voice for women for the past eighteen years, and here collects eighty tracks from throughout her carreer, including a dozen previously unreleased tracks.
Gems such as "Dolphin Song," "Take Me With You," "Never Seen Blue," and previously unavailable versions of "Crucify" and "a sorta fairytale" are enough to recommend this box set to anyone who is familiar with her work. However, this collection does not quite cover all the ground it should.
First, I would commend the packaging. The cover of the box itself is a set of piano keys. The booklet included contains great pictures and reflections on many of the songs, especially the unreleased stuff. And the discs are divided up pretty well. This makes it a great collector's item.
But, when it comes to the songs themselves, I have some issues. One issue is that this set leaves out some songs that one might expect to find. Soundtrack songs and certain b-sides are left off to make room for multiple versions of some tracks. Another issue is that Tori's post 2000 material is only slightly represented here. Without "Carnival," "London Girls," or "Sleeps With Butterflies," this set leaves me wanting.
My bottom line advice is long time fans should check this out, if only for the stuff that is not otherwise available. But I would advise starting elsewhere if you haven't experienced Tori Amos before. Her "Tales of a Librarian" collection is a single disc set that covers a lot. Studio releases such as "The Beekeeper" or "Boys For Pele" are also excellent.
Tori Amos is one of the great singer-songwriters of our time. This box set confirms that. I just wish it would have confirmed this fact more fully.

Item shipped very fast.
was brand new and in original packaging.
Good customer servic.
I highly recommand this seller

A good boxed set for someone new to Tori's music. Also an excellent boxed set for a seasoned fan, with many outtakes and remixes in with old favorites.

I also love the piano shaped box.

this is without a doubt a MUST OWN for anyone who calls themselves a a toriphile!!! I love the packaging, the music, and this gives me the opportunity to to introduce the very best of Tori to those of my friends that dont already adore her.

i really am a HUGE Tori fan and was looking forward to this collection and the seller took my money and ran! still trying to get it back thru paypal!

I love the CD collection! I was so happy to find it available on Ebay. I was able to buy the item I wanted, and save some money by not having to purchase it at a retail store!

Tori Amos is one of a kind and a true talent. I you are an old time fan or just started listening to her, this new CD set has something to offer. Some of the favorites as well as other material that you general only here at her live shows. Definitely good for me!

My step daughter loved it and so did I. I got an A in Christmas gift giving!
Great look and listen!

I purchased this set for my wife for Christmas, and although it was the cheapest gift she opened, it was by far her favorite. Listening enjoyment from start to finish from one of the best.

The Piano is the ultimate collection for Tori Amos fans. It spans the entire length of her career, contains many previously unreleased tracks(that rock!!), lots of "B" sides and many special versions of her classics!! There's something for everyone, from light emotional ballads and perky pop tunes, all the way to the "celestial noise" that is a Tori dance mix. I just can't say enough good about it.
