New Releases This Week: Tori Amos, Bon Jovi, Spandau Ballet

Those of you that are still putting your pocketbooks back together after picking up last week's new releases, will probably be a tad dismayed to learn that there is a whole new batch of new releases again this week.  This week's releases include a new holiday album from Tori Amos, yet another new album from Bon Jovi, and a righteously awesome box set from AC/DC, maaaaan.

For Clevelanders and fans of pop culture in general, the newly released soundtrack for A Christmas Story, unavailable prior to now, is a wonderful holiday gift!
