Baltimore (Tori Amos song)
"Baltimore" is the name of the first single released by a pre-fame Tori Amos, under her birth name of Ellen Amos.
Amos, then 16 years old, wrote the song with her brother Michael in response to a 1979 contest by the city of Baltimore, Maryland. Her new theme song for the Baltimore Orioles baseball team won the contest.
Pressed on only 500 7-inch vinyl records, it was given a citation by the Mayor of Baltimore. As of the year 2002, a copy of this record complete with original sleeve sells for $2,000–$5,000 US. The sleeve is not a picture sleeve. A copy with an original resume for "Ellen Amos" could go for as much as $7,000. It features a B-side track called "Walking With You". It was released on "MEA Records", which was Amos' initials.
Max Welker played guitar on both songs. It was recorded at Track Studios, Silver Spring, Maryland, United States.- "Baltimore" – 3:31
- "Walking With You" – 4:28
