News: The Legs And Boots Holiday Sale!

In honor of the American Doll Posse world tour coming to a close, ToriAmos.com has announced two special holiday offers from Legs & Boots.

First, they are now offering discounts for high-volume bootleg purchasers. Anyone who has bought at 5 shows will receive a 10% discount on future purchases while those who have ponied up to 10 or more shows will get a total of 20% off. Previously purchased shows do count towards your discount level. However, retroactive discounts to those who have already exceeded those counts are not being offered. Alas!

Second, they are giving away two free downloads from the Legs & Boots collection: Amber Waves (from the November 29th Salt Lake City show, judging by the strains of “Caught A Lite Sneeze” as the mp3 fades out) and Not David Bowie (judging by the track number in the filename, this is probably from the Denver show).

Note: we’ve gotten a report that these files downloaded “as a document” for at least one Mac user and could not be played to his iPod. Not being a Mac user myself, I can not verify this. I did not experience any problems getting or playing the mp3s on Windows. However, Luddite that I am, I do not have a portable digital music player, and can not test that second part of the report. A note has been sent to Customer Service about this but haven’t heard if there has been a resolution yet. Any other Mac users out there have issues or solutions? Please Let us know.

Finally, while we have your attention, a gentle reminder to those who have purchased any of the bootlegs: BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP! Their policy is one download per purchase so if your computer crashes or you, er, uh, um, accidentally delete the directory containing all your downloads (not that anyone we know would do that! *whistles innocently*), you’re up the proverbial creek without a paddle. Taking the time to make a backup copy of your purchased files – on CD-R, another hard drive, cassette tape, whatever – is worth it!
