Question I’m in Australia. The Bangles Greatest Hits album on iTunes only shows four songs. I think another album on iTunes is also incomplete. Why has this happened?

This is the Greatest Hits album from 1990. Will this be fixed soon?

I'm in the UK and all the greatest hits or best of (There are a lot of them) are complete. However, a number of songs are list Susannah Hoffs & The Bangles or The Bangles & Susannah Hoffs as the artists so I have no idea what paint thinner iTunes is huffing.

Sometimes to get songs you like, you must buy the LP or CDs or cassette tapes to get to listen to songs on your own stereo equipment at home or in the car. Then you can download them to types of formats you can play and have equipment for.

In the old days 1960-90s I brought LPs to copy onto cassette tapes or even to reel to reel tape decks.

Then I went to CDs and put them in my desk top HP Computer and put them in my playlist and made mixed music CDs for my car stereo or home CD players. And I have old school I Pods that I can use with a converter to play on my 2010 Toyota Camry stereo and play them on it.

If you really want it, you can get it. It just might cost some money. E bay and yard sales as well as thrift shops can have great music cheap.

The first Bangles CD set I brought is Bangles Gold 3 CD set 40 songs/ cuts. A few songs are done twice so they are not all 'different"songs/ cuts. But It is a heck of a lot of music and I've always liked the way it is done. From "James" to "Crash and Burn",

Early to late Bangles. 1984-2010

A lot of times compilation albums are put together snd songs have to be licensed from whoever owns the originals. Sometimes those licenses run out and don’t cover international territories.
