Brian B on iTunes

[drakula63]

Having bought the album on CD a few weeks ago, I can recommend it without hesitation - see my review, a slight variation on which should be in the next edition of Pipeline.

As to why there are four extra tracks on the downloadable version; other than to make the download seem more attractive than the CD, I can't think why this has been done. I'm sure, however, that this decision would have been made by the record company rather than by Brian.

I suspect that I too will buy the four additional tracks via download once they are available.

Why do I feel badly done to?
Bought the CD in good faith as an"entity" only to now find that 4 tracks were kept back for iTunes to flog as a "special".
Worse, I have to subscribe to iTunes AND buy the album all over again if I want these tracks - all of which will delivered in un hi-fi mp3 quality.
I feel conned! Anyone agree?

Actually, iTunes files have been available at better than mp3 quality for years and the Apple Lossless (ALAC) format is virtually indistinguishable from listening to a CD.
