 Post subject: Amazon question (purchasing the Valley internationally)Posted: Tue Mar 01, 2011 8:07 pm 
My cousin from Australia was planning to buy "The Valley" from amazon, but then she saw this: "(Amazon MP3 purchases are limited to U.S. customers.) " . Is there a way to purchase the album from outside the US? If it can be purchased from itunes or other sources, does it still include the digital booklet? _________________

Well that sorta answers MY question about gifting it to someone in Oz....I think your cousin is ska-roood. However you could buy it for them, no? All manner of ways to digitally send it to them.  _________________ http://www.twitter.com/drstrangeblog http://www.last.fm/user/getinline I can't find the time to write my mind the way I want it to read. |

I was actually planning to get her send them to me digitally once she got to buy them. There are mp3s floating around in the net though.. but we wanna support the band (and getting a physical copy would be really cool).  It's quite sad. I guess I'll get someone from the US to buy for us or something  I guess it would be the same for Canada then? _________________

So yeah, hope you can work something out with someone who can buy & send you a CD. I just looked on Amazon Canada and don't see a digital copy available, only the CD. Don't know when it will come out in Australia yet, although it will happen. These different international release dates suck. I'm still waiting on The Joy Formidable album to hit iTunes on the 15th whereas it came out in Britain & Europe 5 weeks ago.  _________________ http://www.twitter.com/drstrangeblog http://www.last.fm/user/getinline I can't find the time to write my mind the way I want it to read. |

The iTunes version includes the digital booklet. There’s a feature in iTunes to gift albums, but it’s only for a recipient in the same country as the sender. If you wanted to be legit, get the digital booklet, and make it a gift, I think you’re easiest option is to just buy it yourself on iTunes and email all the files directly to your friend. As long as you either delete the files from your computer or already own your own copy, everything is fair for everyone. The files are DRM-free and high-quality (I don’t remember the bit-rate Amazon uses, but I’m pretty sure the iTunes version is the higher quality of the two), so your cousin will have no problem playing them. |
