The omissions for this set make me crazy. Garlands. Peter Pan. MOUNTAIN. All the soundtrack songs. I don't think we needed live versions of songs that we already had. If tales is considered a collection, then why is the collection then on another collection (mary, snow cherries)? At least give us a Tales version that didn't make the album (wasn't Putting the Damage on a free download, but didn't make the disk?)

I think most of the soundtrack songs had to be left out for legal or licensing reasons unfortunately. Garlands, OPP, Mountain etc. were also probably left off because Rhino only had rights to Tori's Atlantic catalog and had to pay to use the Epic era songs, so we only got a few on this collection. Now why Amber Waves and Marys made it on instead of those tracks, you'd have to ask Tori.

I think A Piano is one of Tori's best releases. Beautiful packaging, an informative booklet, great remasters, and some very nice unreleased tracks and demos. Pretty much everything I'd want in a box set.

I do wish they had just put all of UTP on here so it would all be remastered. All of the tracks gained so much from it, I'd love to hear a remastered Icicle, Space Dog, and Wrong Band. It also would've been nice to get just a few of Tori's covers on here, they're a big part of her career and songs like Teen Spirit, New Age, Famous Blue Raincoat, etc. are some of her best work.
