The song may have been initially considered as a single for the album, because copies of the album were accompanied by a sticker listing this song, along with "[Caught a Lite Sneeze](/source/Caught_a_Lite_Sneeze)" and "[Talula](/source/Talula)," as feature songs. Of all five singles released from the album, "Putting the Damage On" was not one of them. In the song, Amos is accompanied by her own piano playing, and by the [Black Dyke Band](/source/Black_Dyke_Band) (which decades earlier had played an instrumental version of [the Beatles](/source/The_Beatles)' song "[Yellow Submarine](/source/Yellow_Submarine_(song))" as an [Apple Records](/source/Apple_Records) single).[3][4] ## Subsequent appearances An edited version appeared as a [bonus track](/source/Bonus_track) for Amos' 2003 [compilation album](/source/Compilation_album), *[Tales of a Librarian](/source/Tales_of_a_Librarian)*. A remastered version of the album track was featured in the 2006 box set, *[A Piano: The Collection](/source/A_Piano%3A_The_Collection)*. A live version was officially released for the [Denver](/source/Denver), Colorado, show of *[The Original Bootlegs](/source/The_Original_Bootlegs)* series that Amos released in conjunction with her 2005 tour promoting *[The Beekeeper](/source/The_Beekeeper_(album))*.[5] ### Twilight Mix An alternate version of the song, titled the "Twilight Mix", was released in 1997, and includes extra background vocals, snare drums, and a structural edit that removes the bridge. The "Twilight Mix" was featured on a 12-track promotional CD titled *Retrospective: The Benefit for RAINN*, numbered Atlantic #PRCD 6999-2, issued by Atlantic Records in conjunction with [RAINN](/source/RAINN) in 1997. (This is not to be confused with a promotional 2-track CD single called "The Benefit For RAINN", numbered Atlantic #PRCD 8020-2 and #PRCD 6995-2, which was given out as a promotional item by retailers in conjunction with [Calvin Klein](/source/Calvin_Klein_(fashion_house)) and contained the album version of the track.) The "Twilight Mix" began climbing the charts in Poland and Austria in late 1997, peaking at # 28 in both countries.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** [*Boys for Pele*](/source/Boys_for_Pele) (US CD album booklet).
