This album was released in 1990. Three years later, a suit was filed and settled out-of-court over the unauthorized use of a sample. The song "Leibesleid" used a four-measure sample from "O Fortuna," the first section of Carmina Burana which is a work for orchestra and chorus composed by the late Carl Orff and first performed in 1937. Presumably, it was whomever holds the copyright to this work (Mr. Orff's heirs, I guess) that brought the legal action. The recording was withdrawn from sale in late 1993. Two versions of this of this disc exist. In 1992, WaxTrax! records filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy and were "rescued" by TVT records. The existing WaxTrax! catalog, with the label's UPC code and catalog numbers starting with "WAX" were withdrawn in 1993, and replaced with new stock bearing TVT's UPC code, logo, and catalog numbers starting with "TVT." The new TVT pressing of Naïve was probably only available for a few months of 1993 before being withdrawn due to the lawsuit. While the TVT version of this disc is presumably rarer, many collectors (myself included) try to put together a collection of the original out-of-print WaxTrax! pressings; there does not seem to be evidence that one version is more valuable than the other.
In the past month (December 2005), four copies sold on eBay, including three from the same seller. The price ranged from $75.95 to $37.00 with an average of about $60.50 plus $3.75 shipping.
