Jet Music in USA

Sun, Aug 1, 2010 at 7:08 AM

I've found it nearly impossible to locate much of the non-album material that Jet has released because I live in the U.S. The iTunes digital download only singles are the worst because they don't sell them in the U.S. iTunes store and therefore, there's no legal way to acquire them. Why can I not buy all Jet music via their own website? Physical or digital, I think you should carry the full discography on here. Or else if there's somewhere else on the web that sells it, could you enlighten us starving U.S. fans?

Thanks!

    Thank you, I'm glad someone else is similarly frustrated. I was looking at the U.S. iTunes store page for The Kooks, a much less prominent band here, yet they have 21 releases and only two full length albums. The rest is their singles with a multitude B-sides and EPs released in various countries... in the span of 2005-2009 (with one release each in 2005 and 2009).
    iTunes, Amazon, eBay even, it's hard to find the JET catalog and it's really too bad we are missing so many great songs.

    Canada is almost as tough too... it's expensive to legally obtain some songs, and you can't even get them all really. It's a promotional thing, but I agree that one of the goals of the new record company should be to make these things a little more accessible to the real fans (i.e. most members on this site).
    The closest 'solution' I've thought of is to buy an Australian iTunes gift card, and that way you get access to the Aus Store. Never tried it myself, unfortunatly. I wish there was a site that SECURELY sold just the codes to the gift cards, so you don't have to ship the card across an ocean.
    Yea, if anyone that isn't Australian has peeked at the Australian store, they (i.e. me) are probably veeerrrrrry jealous.

    They must just LOVE fans like me.... and then hate them later when they actually show up to their shows…

    i'm from Australia, and i can't get anything that was released in Japan or the UK only, but not back home.... yes, there should be some way that we can buy the records, real fans deserve it!

    I've got the Right Right Right DVD and the Japanese Rare Tracks record from Sanity.com.au. For me it's perfect cause I pay in Aussie dollars, wich is cheaper to my currency, and even with the delivery fee it turns out to be cheaper than importing from the US or the UK. I recommend it!
