Dear PA, where can I find these 2 albums as a digital purchase+download?

Here is the three set: http://www.discogs.com/search?q=Stone.Scissors.Paper.&type=all

I have 03.Paper, which I bought in Japan back in 2002. I really enjoy this album, and have been trying to find the other two, but all I can find are physical copies at Discogs/Amazon. I'm in Mexico, so shipping ends up being $35+ for a month-long delivery that might not even make it.

Anyone know where I can find these albums for digital purchase? Thank you.

Looking on Amazon, each of the discs is going to be, at most, $10 new from various sellers. Why is it that you're so unsure of an Amazon shipment making it to you in Mexico?

I'm guessing that the main issue is that he'd rather get the music digitally than wait forever and pay as much for shipping as they cost.

These are Japanese labels and my Japanese is going to be too rusty to find it myself, but maybe you can find the albums up on amazon.co.jp or similar?

Satsumomo

I uh.. Why didn't I check Amazon.co.jp? :P And yes, Ceres is right that I'd rather pay $10 to get the tracks now, than the extra shipping with risk of not receiving them. Yes, stuff still gets "lost" in the mail here in Mexico.

Hopefully they don't have some silly region lock, I once tried purchasing some stuff from a Japanese site and they only accepted cards issued in Japan

I'll check it out!

Edit: Bummer, they have it but not for digital download

As far as Japanese CDs go, unless its not very popular, a single EP, or a bootleg, you're generally going to end up paying a bunch for the disc itself, never mind the shipping. I was surprised by how low the price for the discs Satsumomo was looking for were priced at on Amazon.com.

Satsumomo

Really seems like my only option. I will try and lookup the individual artists and songs, might be easier to find downloads that way. Or just get the darn CD's shipped to me already :P

I can't speak personally about shipping to Mexico from Amazon.com or Amazon.co.jp, but my experience with shipping from Amazon.co.jp to the US was nothing short of stellar. It was expensive, around $30, but it was tracked and there in less than a week.

You could always ask one of the BF3 Brah to help you out.

Satsumomo

Aww

I've been meaning to order some books from Amazon for a while now, so I might get a bunch of stuff, ask some friends if they don't want other books as well, and we'll split the expedited 6 days delivery, which is usually delivered locally by Fedex/UPS, so there shouldn't be a problem with stolen goods.

I do believe I'm flying back down to Places Near You again for Christmas, if I can help.

Have you checked iTunes Japan?
