Japan CD Edition Additional Notes
“Hello! Please take this CD called Firecracker and put it into your CD Player. Now, listen… Don’t worry, it won’t explode. I hope you enjoy listening to these songs. I’ve included a bonus track which appears exclusively in Japan. The song is called Eno Ambient #5, a lullaby and a story about Brian Eno. I’ll see you soon in Japan, or somewhere in the world. Keep listening! // Lisa Loeb”.

Notes: 1) CD was released in Japan with slightly different cover art lettering and one bonus track. For some reason, Japan issue mentions 2001 as year of release. 2) Following credits were taken both from Japan and US CD releases on A&M. 3) CD was re-released with partially different track content as “Hello Lisa” (see entry below). 4) Since only one location is mentioned as being a ‘recording’ location and all the others are indicated as ‘engineering’ locations, the ‘recording studios’ header groups both engineering locations and recording locations. 5) As a rule for this blog, whenever technical details are amiss it is generally due to their actual absence from the credits/liner notes they are being taken from. This is the case for some mixing locations that were not mentioned in the credits.

Anthologies
“The Very Best Of Lisa Loeb” - US CD - front inlay
Notes about “The Very Best of Lisa Loeb”: 1) Of this compilation I own the US edition and it comes with no new Lee track on it. This US collection comes with liner notes by Ms. Loeb. You can find some enlargements of these notes for those tracks with Lee as a player at the bottom of this post. 2) I still have to check out the Japan release of this anthology. According to web sources, it comes with an alternate selection of songs and one bonus track by the title “Koi No Arashi”. A web search indicates this track as being the English-lyrics version of a Mariya Takeuchi song. It also figures that this same version was probably already included in the 2002 CD album tribute “Sincerely… Mariya Takeuchi Songbook” with the title “Love Storm”. My web researches show that Lee should not be a player on it. About the other substituted songs: the only one with Lee on it is “Someone You Should Know”. It is probable that all of these substituted songs should come in their CD album versions. However, take the “shoulds” with a pinch of salt and check back for a further update. Thanks!
