iTunes Issue

I’ve bought multiple songs from “The Essential Roy Orbison” album on iTunes. I decided I would like the buy the full album. However, only “,” is listed as the price. Usually I am able to complete my album at a pro-rated price.

iPhone 11, iOS 15

Levi,

The iTunes Store sells that album as a "partial album." The version available for download has 3 fewer songs than the CD version of the album, presumably due to some obscure distribution rights issue.


In such cases, the iTunes Store sells the available tracks individually but does not offer an album price. (Even if you had not bought individual tracks, you would not see an album price.)


FYI, the missing tracks that are included on the CD but not on the downloadable album are three songs from his early days with Roy Orbison & Teen Kings.
