   Where can I get this? How? I just downloaded iTunes, and I still can't find   
   it. I'm not going to download the whole album and discover that - nnnope, 9   
   tracks only ...   
      
   And to your question about pre-ordering on the net: No. You don't get it in   
   the mail on the release date. They don't even mail it on the release date.   
   Guess they haven't got it yet, they're usually very reliable. Not Amazon.uk,   
   anyway. I'm still waiting for the DVD-A package here in Norway. Maybe it   
   isn't out yet? Wha? Where am I? Who am I? Oh, no - look ou
