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.
