iTunes UK selling new music on the cheap

New Artists SaleI happen to know we’ve got ourselves plenty of UK readers out there in MacUser land, so this one’s for you, folks. The UK version of the iTunes Store is running a special on 25 albums by new artists for under £5 (iTunes link). Albums in the UK store are usually priced at £7.99, so this is a pretty shiny deal if you’re looking to snag some new tunes for cheap.

Personally, I haven’t heard of any of the artists featured, but as it’s “new music,” I suppose that’s to be expected. Still, how could I resist music by bands like The Sunshine Underground, Datarock, and Molotov Jive? With names like those, they’ve got to be good.

And you know what, this is as good a time as any to renew the plea to record companies that they open up all the iTunes stores around the world to everybody. Maybe we’d like to snag us some music from these spiffy new artists—without a UK billing address, c’est impossible! Likewise, I”m sure our UK buddies would be thrilled to get access to some of the US store’s wares. Let’s tear down these borders instead of building them up, shall we?
