However, the offending track is still available for purchase, so I caution purchasers to beware when downloading Earth Anthem (or indeed the album as a whole). There is a full version of The Turtles' Earth Anthem available at iTunes on the compilation album Go Green. iTunes has acknowledged that there is a problem with the track I downloaded and, having refunded my payment, is investigating the matter.

However, looking at Earth Anthem, not only is it only 1:36 in length in the iTunes store (compared to the 4:00 track you have available for download), it's in a different key to yours, too, pitched slightly lower and slower. I paid for and downloaded it anyway, and it ends abruptly, after the first verse. I would have assumed that something went wrong with my download, but there it is in the iTunes store, 1 minute and 36 seconds long. Strange. @Brendan: Thanks for the iTunes tip.

I have researched technology to make the links IP specific, but not gotten very far with it. Hopefully soon. @sixsevenfive: Turtles Presents The Battle of the Bands is avail in the Australia iTunes store! To all: I apologize for our US-centric purchase links.

I would love to buy the album (on CD or mp3), but unfortunately Amazon mp3 is not available in my part of the world. Hopefully if the CD is re-issued (or if Amazon expands its availability), someone will mention it here. Thanks again!
