Little Earthquakes – The B-Sides is a compilation album by American musician Tori Amos. Originally included as a bonus picture disc as part of Little Earthquakes – The Graphic Album, it received a standalone release on vinyl on April 22, 2023, for Record Store Day through Atlantic Records.[1] The album collects B-sides from the singles taken from Amos's debut Little Earthquakes (1992), and was limited to 10,000 copies.[2] The songs were produced by Ian Stanley and Davitt Sigerson, both of whom also contributed to Little Earthquakes.
Some songs released as B-sides were not included. "Here. In My Head" does not appear on the album, nor do Amos's covers of "Smells Like Teen Spirit", "Angie", and "Thank You" (all of which appeared on the "Crucify" single).
Reception
Little Earthquakes – The B-Sides reached number 173 on the Billboard 200.[3] It also peaked at number 24 on the Top Alternative Albums chart.[3]
Consequence called it one of the "30 Must-Have Releases" of Record Store Day 2023.[1] The Current included the album on their list of "25 Special Releases" highlighted for the event.[4]
Variety included the album on their Most Wanted Exclusives list, highlighting tracks such as "Sugar" and "Mary" and stating, "it's hard to think of many classic albums that had a better set of B-sides than [Little Earthquakes]".[5]
