JBB readers take note: you can buy the first two Shoes albums (Present Tense and Tongue Twister) on iTunes for only $9.99! "When It Hits" is one of my favrorite songs ever. But why don't they have the re-release of 20/20's two LPs
? The CD is out of print, but why should iTunes care about that? I really don't see what the barrier could be, and it's not as if the record company is making money off the pricey resales.
Belle and Clive Davis are now tied for blogger with the best taste in music.

As I understand it, you have to "apply" to be carried by itunes. They have to have some expectation that your use of their storage space will be financially rewarding for them. It's sort of an onerous process, especially for indie bands.
If you're curious, I've explained the difference between Shoes and 20/20 at my blog. There is actually a reason for the discrepancy you note.
