Remastered & Pressed on 180g 2LP in Celebration of the Pivotal Album's 20th Anniversary!

One of the most successful and influential artists of her generation, Tori Amos is as much a force to be reckoned today as when she made her debut as producer in 1996 on her third studio album, Boys for Pele, over two decades ago. An ambitious and uncompromising collection of songs about mythology (Pele was a Hawaiian volcano goddess), suppression and self-discovery, the record became one of her most successful, debuting at #2 on the album charts in both the U.S. and the U.K. An international hit, Boys for Pele also burst into the Top 10 in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Holland, Germany and Sweden.

To celebrate the pivotal album's 20-year anniversary, Rhino Records is releasing a newly remastered version of the original 18-track effort as a 180g 2LP-set. Moving away from the corporate environment to record in a church in Delganey, County Wicklow, and an old Georgian house in County Cork, Ireland, Boys for Pele altered the course of Tori Amos' career. As she explains in the album's liner notes, "This is the record where I fought for my life." Greeted with rapturous fan support, this proved this to be a rewarding decision. Home to the fan favorites "Caught a Lite Sneeze" and "Hey Jupiter."
