So, I am ****** at Itunes. Taking Kinks albums of Itunes (Something Else) and the all of the Pete Townshend catalogue. Solo stuff. What gives? You are catering to the JT andBS crowd. I expected more form you, I tunes. There are some great reissues from PT

The iTunes Store sells only what the artist and record companies will allow the store to sell. If there is content not available, its by choice of whoever holds the rights, and if that entity previously allowed sales but later retracts the license, there's absolutely nothing Apple can do but comply and remove the content from the iTunes Store. Contact the record companies and artists and complain to them.

Regards.

Itunes does not do this.

The owners of the distribution rights to the songs in each country decides what they will allow itunes to sell.

Why would you think this was itunes choice?

Thanks for letting me know. I noticed that the UK store had all of Pete Townshend's catalogue. I take it that the agreements are based on countries and licensing.

You take it correctly. The rights are country-by-country, so the holder in one country may grant rights to sell the content while the holder in another country denies them. This is actually quite common and can be due to all sorts of things, most often that the rights holder in a given country signs some sort of exclusive deal with a single store.

Again, this is not something Apple has any control over. They would much prefer to be able to offer all content in all countries, but that's not up to them.
