“Hey Everybody! // Thanks for checking out my CD! For more of my lyrics and journal entries, go to my website www.hopepartlow.com // Love, // Hope”.

“Thanking people should be an easy thing to do but it’s not. There is no way I can express my gratitude for everything that everyone has done for me. // It doesn’t start with recording an album. It starts at the beginning. First of all I give a huge thank you to my parents, my brother and sisters, and the rest of my family. Thanks for your love and support through everything. To my lovely friends at home, Billy Owens and the All American Band, everybody at the Strand - thanks for truly believing in me. // Aunt Joyce, Chris Pelcer, Laura Donohue, Allison Allen, Theresa Smith, I wouldn’t be here without all of your help and love. // Jan Smith and staff, Nite Driscoll, and the Atlanta Institute of Music - All of you totally rock and I can’t thank you enough. // All of the great musicians and songwriters, everyone at the studios thank you so much. Stuart Dutsky and Co., Joe Serling, Larry Rudolph, Adam Leber, and Kati Herrera - thanks for handing all the business stuff. Katie Agresta, everyone at Hanson Fitness, Robin Dunn at Steps on Broadway, Matthew Smith, Alan Savage, all of you kicked my butt with your talent. Thank you. Greg Collins, Mark Dobson, and the many involved in the making - Thank you for all your hard work. To everyone in the band - I HOPE IT LASTS FOREVER. No pun intended. Everyone at Virgin Records, thank you for all your time, effort, and energy. So much behind the scenes stuff has to happen and be dealt with - All of you do such an awesome job. Thank you again! // Dean Serletic, I wouldn’t be where I am today without you so it’s all your fault. I am very thankful to have someone like you who has walked me through, step by step, the process of making an album. You always had faith in me. Thank you. // Matt Serletic, I don’t know where to begin so I’ll start at the end - YOU ARE AWESOME! Working with you on the album was so cool. You amaze me with how much talent you have. I will never be able to thank you enough for giving me this huge opportunity! To be and artist with Virgin Records is a complete dream come true. Thank you for seeing what I could become with some help and a lot of support. I have so much respect for you and again I thank you.”.

“So many people have helped with this album. I thank you all so very very much. // Rock on, // - Hope”.

Notes: 1) According to web sources, this CD album was released at least in four different content configurations the world over, plus one more edition for the iTunes market. We will go back to the specific releases in detail once I get hold of those. So far, it will suffice to list the bonus tracks that were included by country of pressing, bearing in mind that some of this info could not be verified:

US bonus track: “Little Wonders - radio version”.
Germany bonus tracks: “Years From Now”, “Remembered Well”.
Japan bonus tracks (verified): “Overrun”, “Her Diamonds - video”.
ITunes bonus tracks (verified): “Sleep Till The War Is Over”, “Believe”.

My thanks to Donnavox, who is a Rob Thomas forum member at http://boards.atlanticrecords.com/artists/robthomas/forums. According to her, the iTunes tracks come without liner notes, just like “Overrun” in its CD release as b-side for the “Her Diamonds” single. Check back for updates. 2) Above picture and following credits were taken from the made in Malaysia EU release on Emblem/Atlantic 756 7896812L (2009).

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.

Japan CD bonus track

13 - Look Me In The Eye

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.

Notes: 1) “Hello Lisa” is a modified version of the “Cake And Pie” CD (see above). Tracks 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 were taken from “Cake And Pie”. Tracks 1, 7, 11, 12 are new material. 2) Above picture and following credits were taken from the CD reissue on Sheridan Square 751151-2. 3) The ‘recording studios’ header groups both engineering locations and recording locations. 4) 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. 5) CD supplies no credits for track 12.

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!

“This album has been an incredible adventure. It has been a journey filled with surprises, lessons, music, and most importantly love. Recording my songs and putting together this body of work has helped me grow not only as an artist but more importantly as a woman. I will never forget one moment of the making of “Be Not Nobody” for it is a part of me. I would like to thank everyone that has helped make this journey possible. // To the man: Ron Fair. You’ve helped me make the record of my dreams. Thank you for being so brilliant, so dedicated, and for understanding me like no one else. I am a better musician because of you. // Peter Malkin for stepping in and being my warrior man even at the worst of times. Thanks for the faith and for making me laugh. No girl could ask for a better manager. // I’d like to thank every single person at my label for working their asses off. A special thanks to Jimmy Iovine (for your expert advice), Doug Morris, Brenda Romano, Michelle Thomas, Dennis Dennehy, Andrew Mains, Paul Kremen, Steve Berman, Chris Lopes, Courtney Holt, Tanya Greig, David Saslow, Marc Friedenberg, Gretchen Anderson, Jenn Federici, Martin Kierszenbaum, Christina Meloche, Elisa Yastic, Herve Romain, Rob Harvey, Julie Hovsepian, Tomoko Itoki, Michelle Ozbourn, Eboni Berry, Nicole Frantz. Much love and peace to all of you. // Big thanks to everyone at Universal Publishing especially Andy Fuhrmann, Tom Sturges and David Renzer. // Special thanks to Peter Zizzo: Thank you so much for believing in me from the beginning and for teaching me so much. // Special thanks to Tal Herzberg (thank you for giving so much of yourself), Michael C. Ross, Hugh Padgham and Jack Joseph Puig. // Thanks to Willie Burman, Lourdes Lopez, the late Nenette Cherisse, Gelsey Kirkland, the late Stanley Williams, Talara Ruth, - thank you all for teaching me to dance. Nick Ferrara, Johnny Podell and Sam Kirby, Tina Shafer, Vera Tishiff, Alita Buzel, Brett Radin, Alessa Geboff, Julie Levine, Sharon Ainsburg, Jeff Anderson, Puffy’s Daddy, Tom Whalley, Justin Drexler, and Stephanie Wolf (thanks for being the older sister I never had and for putting up with me). Much love and peace. // To my family - Thanks mom and dad for being so wise. You have given me so much. I love you. To Gwen and Edmund- thanks for being so unimpressed by all this rock star business. I don’t say it enough, but I love you guys. To Jennifer- what would I do without you. // And last, but certainly not least, thank you Abe Laboriel Jr., Lee Sklar & John Goux. You guys have taught me so much. You are incredible musicians and I am humbled to work with you all. Not only are you all so talented but you guys are a great hang. Thank you for making music with me.”.
