They released one poorly-received eponymous album and disbanded because Amos couldn’t stand the music she was making or the image Atlantic Records was shoehorning her into. The album and CD barely sold, and went out of print. But long after Amos became an established star, the album remains unavailable, apparently at Amos’ behest since she didn’t feel the music represented her. Maybe not, but her fans are shrewd enough to understand that, while still wanting to hear it. It might make for a good bonus disc in a box set (which would let Amos avoid having to put the embarrassing front cover back on CD racks).
