Bonus tracks

For those that pre-ordered AOA and Plectrum on the official site, did you get bonus tracks? I have not.

Digital singles were promised. We're missing 2 from PE and 1 from AOA.

No -- if you pre-ordered the album, you got Clouds, U Know and Funknroll early, thoswe were the "digital singles". Same for the songs pre-released to those who pre-ordered PLEL.

My only gripe it's that somehow it's not loading The Breakdown -- I have it as the single released earlier this year, but it's not appearing in the AOA tracklist.

For PE I think we got Pretzel and Whitecaps? There might have been more but I tried not to listen before getting the albums, so wasn't paying close attention.

If you previously bought it on iTunes, it won't re-download as part of the album. To save you money. I'm OCD enough about this sort of thing that I went and spent another $1.29 on it as an album track just to have the right version (if it was (re-)mastered for iTunes like the rest of the album). But you have to search iTunes for it specifically as "Prince Breakdown". On the album page it still shows up as "purchased" without the ability to download it from there.

This is an iTunes fault. The Breakdown version is different from the single version (according to iTunes, must be different mastering) and is considered a different track. When you buy the album you SHOULD get that track (as it's included in the album). I did not, as iTunes sees the artist and track name as matching something you already bought and blanks it out. I had to buy it seperately (for .99 from the itunes album tracklist - you go "show complete album" and can buy the album version), which resulted in people paying for that track 3 times - the single, the album (which it didn't come with) and the again to get the album version you should have already got. I emailed iTunes about it, and got 2 free song credits as I should have only paid once for that track (as they are all the same anyway). I like The Breakdown, but not enough to pay 3 times over for it!

Not according the receipt I have from Warner Brothers. For AOA, Clouds and Breakdown are listed separately from the digital singles 1, 2, and 3. For PE, Pretzelbodylogic is listed separately from the digital singles 1, 2, and 3. We received Funknroll and U Know from AOA and Whitecaps from PE.
