Bootleggers make their titles, so it sounds like the bootlegger may
have made the connection.  Either that, or was thinking of the fact
that one of her residences is in England.  Tori has gained a strong
cult following, and with her tour this year, I can see the store
highlight all the stuff.  I do remember back in 1986, though, when
"The Whole Story" was released that many Tower stores highlighted all
of Kate Bush's albums as well.
