Notes
Boys For Pele was released on January 22nd in the UK, January 23rd in the US and February 25th in Japan. The album reached number 1 in the UK and number 2 in the US. The first single, Caught A Lite Sneeze preceded the album by three weeks. This time Atlantic also released a beautiful limited edition double vinyl album. The records themselves are a clear pale-green vinyl (US) and clear vinyl in the UK. The album also contains an insert, with the lyrics on one side and on the reverse, a photo of Tori that also appears on the inside back cover of the CD insert. The Japanese version of the CD contained a bonus track; Toodles Mr. Jim, one of the b-sides of the UK Caught A Lite Sneeze single. All of the Boys For Pele album tracks were written by Tori, and for the first time, Tori produced the album herself. The tracks were recorded by Mark Hawley and Marcel Van Limbeek. Another addition to this album was Tori's use of some new keyboard varieties: a harpsichord, a harmonium organ, and a clavichord. Boys For Pele also included church bells, horns, strings, a gospel choir and bagpipes. Steve Caton handled the guitars and would join Tori on the road for the Dew Drop Inn '96 Tour. Principal recording was done in a church in County Wicklow, Ireland; a rented house in County Cork, Ireland; with the remainder in New Orleans, LA USA. Future pressings of Boys For Pele would replace the original version of Talula with Talula (The Tornado Mix).
