from a review of RUBY TRAX the Roaring 40, a compilation by NME Mag: Tori Amos RING MY BELL It's 1979 and Anita Ward's innuendo-ridden disco hit tops the charts with its rude implications and brilliant 'pyoowee!' drum noise. 1992 and Tori Amos - the US chanteuse already noted for her moving, piano-only version of Nirvan'a's SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT - Brings a distinctly rock sensibility to Anita's hit. Versatile stuff, pop music, eh? ---------------------------<<%>>----------------------------- Other artists on the compilation include, Wonder Stuff, Billy Brag, Jesus and Mary Chain, Fatima Mansions, St Etienne, Danni Minogue, Aztec Camera, Wedding Present, Suede, Cud, Boy George, Sinead O' Connor (Secret Love: Once a Number One for the great Doris Day in 1954 ((whose songs have also been covered by the highly disperate Sly Stone and Tracy Ullman)(. Secret LOve goes uptempo and brassy in this new version by Sinead, herself something of a fan of the classic torch song, whether it be Someday My Prince Will Come from Sleeping Beauty or, indeed, your actual Prince song, Nothing Compares 2 U.) $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Ring My Bell will NOT be available on a third version of SILENT ALL THESE YEARS as one of the less attendent GoldMine (GM) advertisers has insisted. (BTW The TORI AMOS video is scheduled for release in NOV. and has not been out since this Spring, as another scrapless GM advertiser has contended.) RUBY TRAX will be available shortly. Pressed in UK only.
