"Putting The Damage On" is a ballad by American singer and song-writer Tori Amos, and is featured as the 17th track on her 1996 album, Boys For Pele. The song may have been initially considered as a single for the album, since copies of the album were accompanied by a sticker listing this song, along with "Caught a Lite Sneeze" and "Talula", as feature songs, but of all five singles released from the album, "Putting the Damage On" was not one of them.
An edited version appeared as a bonus track for Amos' 2003 compilation album, Tales of a Librarian. A remastered version of the album track was featured in the 2006 box set, A Piano: The Collection.
A live version was officially released for the Denver, Colorado, show of the The Original Bootlegs series that Amos released in conjunction with her 2005 tour promoting The Beekeeper.
[edit] Twilight Mix
There is also a "Twilight Mix" of this song. It includes extra background vocals, snare drums, and a structural edit that removes the bridge.
The "Twilight Mix" was featured on a promotional CD issued by RAINN in 1997. The CD was called Tori Amos the benefit for RAINN and was numbered Atlantic #PRCD 6995-2. (The other song on this CD was a live version of "Me and a Gun," recorded during the 1997 RAINN benefit concert in New York City featured on Tori Amos: Live from New York.) During 1997, this CD was given out during several promotions in order to raise money for RAINN.
The remix began to climb the charts in Poland and Austria in late 1997. Peaking at #28 in both countries. Amos will sometimes perform this version's harmonies live.
