Well, the DVD has an instrumental of PTDO. I'm not 100 percent positive they're the same tracks, and the itunes one may perhaps be a vocal version of the same track. At the very least, the DVD one is 5.1 mixed, and I would imagine that the itunes track is not. The Pretty Good Year there I have to assume is the exact same. If they're both duplicates, I don't see why they didn't just put all 5 of the bonus tracks on there with the album, same as in stores. If anyone does happen to throw down 12 bucks on the itunes copy, please let everyone know if the "reconditioned" version means "instrumental". >>So, right now I'm a bit pissed at Atlantic for giving us one last >>screwjob before dumping Tori's catalog off.

Yes, I'm quite surprised at all the press appearances. What's up with no Letterman? He's a big Tori fan isn't he? He could use some help on the ratings during sweeps I'm sure! He shoulda booked her on the 24th while she's in NYC.. not fair that she's only doing the california talk shows. ------------------------------ End of precious-things-digest V8 #275 *************************************
