More Pink: The B-Sides is the title of the second disc accompanying the double disc set released exclusively in Australia and New Zealand for the Tori Amos album Under the Pink. The 2-CD set was released on 14th November 1994 to coincide with her tour of Australia and New Zealand. It is generally considered a variation in the various release versions of the album Under the Pink as it was never released separately, and is a rarity amongst Tori Amos collectables. Amos would not release another collection of b-sides until her 2006 album A Piano: The Collection.
The packaging simply inserted the normal Australian release of Under the Pink in a double jewel case, and altered the back insert artwork so that instead of being blank it featured the track listing of the second disc as well as production information for the songs. Many considered the title to be misleading as many of the b-sides on the release did not come from singles of the album Under the Pink but in fact from her 1992 album Little Earthquakes, and in one case, from a Christmas compilation album.
The item sold for over a hundred dollars at the height of Amos' career. Though desirability of her collectables has waned as of 2006, it is one of the few Amos items to retain a high value, still selling for $60 or more. It was pressed in very limited quantity.
