Japanese edition of her hit 1998 album with 'Purple People'added as a bonus track. 13 tracks total, also featuring thesmash single 'Spark'. An EastWest/ Atlantic release.
From the Choirgirl Hotel Reviews:
A superb album with an extra little goody. 
2005-01-16 - My favorite Tori Amos album to date finds Tori experimenting for the first time with a band. On all her previous efforts, Amos recorded herself and the piano or harpsicord first, and add other musicians' instrumentations later. The album continues to show the songstress challenging herself and her listeners, penning intense songs largely centered around a miscarriage that she suffered; though not all of the songs touch on the subject. The album is completely unforgettable, and these songs will stay with you, even long after you turn the stereo off. Highlights include "Spark," "Raspberry Swirl," "Northern Lad," and "Playboy Mommy." This version also contains the bonus track "Purple People (Christmas in Space)," also available on the "Spark" singles. Though it's a good song in its own right, it doesn't fit with the flow of the album - at least not as the album closer. It does touch on the theme of miscarriage, but it seems just thrown on, as most import bonus tracks do. Nevertheless, it's a nice little added extra.
Mmmmm...Creamy 
2001-05-18 - This CD is the singular,most increadibly sexy Tori CD ever!!!Besides that it's one of the best mix of songs I've ever heard on an album.Spark and Cruel are great,Raspberry Swirl is just too cool(and the video reminds me of an exorcism),Black-Dove haunts me,And iieee,well,don't get me started. Tori's first attempt at thechno--A+.
From the Choirgirl Hotel
1999-12-09 - Hello, all. I am a big fan of Tori. I have 4 out of the 5 albums and I plan on getting 2 venus + back Chistmas. From the Choirgirl Hotel is my favorite CD and love 9 out of the 12 songs. My favorite song ever is song on this album. Tori Amos sing a v a r i e t y of styles. I Love her music. I highly, highly recommend getting this CD, or any CD by Tori Amos.
Little Earthquakes? WHAT!?
1999-10-23 - Ok now dont get me wrong, but this is not a Little Earthquakes album. Little Earthquakes was spectactular, but this is DEFINATELY NOT LE..... and it is great...... why are we comparing this album to LE. LE was probably the best, but this and BFP fall closely behind. THIS ALBUM HAS ITS OWN BEAUTY!!!!
Consider this:
Little Earthquakes is a revalation
Under the Pink is poetry
Boys for Pele is a collection of short stories that are all bound with a motive of death
From the Choirgirl Hotel is like a novel, a new begining.. so what if she drifts from that 'girl with the piano'?
If all her albums were like LITTLE EARTHQUAKES, we would complain how boring it is.
I feel that TO VENUS AND BACK is NOT a very good album. It was sort of depressing listening to it the first time, because of the pain i felt. I feel that this is just not her. It dosn't connect to us like the other albums do. THe song DATURA has a nice melody, but all it is is a rattling of senseless flower names... and it drags on with a drum rhythm for 8 minutes!
another "must-have" from Tori
1999-09-21 - as usual, I can find no fault with this Tori Amos cd. she is just awesome, and while none of her albums can compare to another, they are all fab!!
