What a farce. This is what happens when you start farting about with different versions in different countries.

I've never used the iTunes Store before in my life but I thought one could just use ones initiative if one has a different version. :-\

The major scuppering point for buying songs from other countries itunes - is that the other countries itunes checks things like IP addresses and also looks for a bank account in that country to obtain the funds from to buy the track your trying to buy and surprise surprise - you have a UK IP address and a UK bank account and the whole process falls over - ive read itunes forums with people who have even resorted to setting up foreign bank accounts to try to secure the music they want.....

Jesus, what a load of crap. "Dear Mr iTunes, I want to give you my money." "No thanks, you're not Belgian."

Again, these companies wonder why people resort to illegal dowloading? Idiots.

I was gonna write BOLLOCKS but thought I would be polite  ;D. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to write it


I just had a brainwave. (doesn't happen often  ;D)  Could it be that it is available to buy on its own in the Netherlands and Aussie because the album is out in those countries? And that on preorder only the whole album is available?
We'll find out on Monday!

Being honest with you RG 8), I think that the whole lot of it is a load of b****x - if its on itunes then that should be the end of it no matter what country youre in,just go in & buy it end of story - this is 2009 is'nt it?????.

Dear friends,

DO NOT panic . Could you live without Early Bird during several monthes? I was living without Kingdom Come 15 years, nothing serious  ;D

I think some Maxi CD or EP with non-album songs will see the light. If not, it will be trouble for record label, not for us ;D

Well, I just checked UK iTunes and there's no sign of Get Lucky or Early Bird. But of course the album isn't released here until Monday, so maybe we'll get it then.
