Press Release:

For Immediate Release: The Association of Recorded Sound Collections has awarded ‘Tori Amos: in the Studio’, written by music biographer Jake Brown (Heart, Motorhead, Rick Rubin) the prestigious ‘Certificate of Merit in Recorded Rock or Popular Music’ as part of their annual 2012 Awards for Excellence in Historical Recorded Sound Research.

Praised by Record Collector Magazine as “intelligently written and researched with some tasty nuggets of information, particularly in the first chapters covering Tori’s childhood and early albums,” the book was first published worldwide by ECW Press in 2012 and by far the most in-depth chronicle of the inside story to Tori’s record-making process to date, ‘Tori Amos: in the Studio’ featured exclusive interviews with longtime lead studio engineer Marcel Van Limbeek, longtime drummer Matt Chamberlin, and producers Eric Rosse (who helmed Amos’ classic ‘Silent All These Years’ and ‘Under the Pink’ LPs) and Joe Chiccarelli.

Author Brown was previously nominated in 2010 by The Association of Recorded Sound Collections in the same category for his collaboration with legendary Motorhead founder/frontman Lemmy Kilmister on ‘Motorhead: in the Studio,’ published worldwide by John Blake Publishing in 2009.
