Alanis Morissette to Release ‘Jagged Little Pill: Collector’s Edition’

Following the 20th anniversary of Alanis Morissette’s landmark album Jagged Little Pill, the singer-songwriter will release a collector’s edition of the LP, complete with unreleased demos and a full live concert from the year of its release. The collection will be available via Rhino on October 30th.

“I’m super excited to share this music with a whole new generation of peeps, as well as people who have grown along with me over the last two decades,” Morissette said in a statement. “Thankfully, these songs have stood the test of time for me, and in their timelessness, I am thrilled to honor and reflect on them as well as the last 20 years of my life and career.”

The massive collector’s edition will feature four discs, including a remastered version of the original album and previously released acoustic take on the LP. Disc Two of the collection contains 10 unreleased demos recorded before, during and after the album’s release. The demos will include “The Bottom Line,” the first song Morissette wrote with the album’s producer Glen Ballard.

The full live concert included in the reissue was recorded at London venue Subterranea on September 28th, 1995. At the show, her touring band Sexual Chocolate, which included Jane’s Addiction’s Chris Chaney on bass and Foo Fighters’ Taylor Hawkins on drums, backed her.

To make the collector’s edition even more special, Morissette will also include various ephemera from her personal collection in the book, including never-before-seen photos. She also wrote a reflective essay on the album and that era of her life.

Demo Disc track list:

1. “The Bottom Line”
2.”Superstar Wonderful Weirdos”
3. “Closer Than You Might Believe”
4. “No Avalon”
5. “Comfort”
6. “Gorgeous”
7. “King of Intimidation”
8. “Death of Cinderella”

Jennifer Lawrence, Scarlett Johansson Top List of Highest Paid Actresses

Jennifer Lawrence and Scarlett Johansson have claimed the two top spots on the annual ranking of highest paid actresses.

Lawrence stood head and shoulders above her competition, raking in a cool $52 million the last year. It was thanks in large part to starring roles in blockbuster franchises like “The Hunger Games” and “X-Men.” She also has a contract with luxury brand Dior, according to Forbes, which compiles the list every year.

Scarlett Johansson came in second, earning $35.5 million. Johansson pulled in a nice chunk of change for her role in “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” and also starred in the hit action movie “Lucy.” She supplements her acting income with endorsements from Dolce & Gabbana and Sodastream.

“Spy” star Melissa McCarthy came in third with $23 million. Her solo espionage comedy was a resounding success, earning $234 million at the box office on a $65 million budget. McCarthy also stars on the CBS sitcom “Mike & Molly,” in addition to launching a clothing line for plus-size women.

Bingbing Fan was the only non-American to make the list. The Chinese actress earned $21 million, and is best known to American audiences for her role in “X-Men: Days of Future Past.” She also starred in the Chinese fantasy epic “The White Haired Witch of Lunar Kingdom.”
