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.
