Looking for a UK release in the US
 
Hello,

New to the forums and happy to be here.
I'm trying to purchase a copy of Sting- Nothing like the Sun Remastered 1998.
It was only released in the UK and I can't seem to purchase it for Download from any of the UK sites, Amazon UK or itunes UK given that i live in the US.

Am I stupid or is this not that hard?

I currently own a mint US version in the 'Ultradisc II' 24-karat GOLD. I am told that the remastered 1998 has much better sound quality as some of the original 1987 tracks like "Little Wing" have poor audio...

I have some of the newer remastered content as well but not all of the songs from the original 1987 release have been remastered for sale in the US.

Can anyone offer any advice to this desperate Newbie????

Could you not just purchase the remastered CD instead of downloading it?

Yes. I have found it on ebay through an import seller. Just wanted to elimate shipping and another CD and jewel case in my collection that has been mostly moved to the computer anyway. Thanks for the comment :)

Have you tried Play.com?

Not sure on the rules on what counts as advertising so I hope I don't get disabled for mentioning that.

Thanks. Tried and was not able to since I don't have a UK address. Even if I had one my CC would not bill to it. I can't believe a digital download is this hard. I can get anything here by fed-ex yet I can't download from the UK...

Have you tried using torrents?

Just found a nice MFSL edition (mobile fidelity sound labs) as a FLAC through torrents. It doesn't get much better than MFSL. You might want to try that one ;)

There's a good one on the pirate bay, I downloaded it safely. There's lots of seeds with few peers as well so it probably won't take too long to download.

Looks like the one on there is the 1987 US release. I need the 1998 Remastered UK version. Did I miss something?
Thanks for the help and the post.
