    Hi twirlybird!

     

    I think the relevant information to your question can be found in the article about a feature of the iTunes Store called Complete My Album. From this article, here is the description of Complete My Album:

    What is Complete My Album?

    If you have purchased one or more songs from an eligible album, you can now complete the album without having to pay the full album price, and instead of receiving the album in its entirety, you will receive only the songs you had not previously purchased. For example, if you purchased one song from an eligible album priced at $9.99 USD, you can get the remaining songs for $9.00 USD—instead of paying $9.99 USD for the album and buying the single again. You can complete albums this way even if you were given the initial song as a gift.

    If you purchase a song from an eligible album on the iTunes Store, when you view the album again, the pricing will show Complete My Album and the adjusted price for the remaining songs. You can also view your eligible albums by accessing the Complete My Album page under Quick Links from the iTunes Store Music page, or from the iTunes Store homepage.
