Hi all,
What is so hard about this?! You can go to Amoeba Music, Tower Records (when they were around), pick up an "Elvis Costello Live At El Mocambo" import CD, go up to the cashier, pay its more expensive price tag, go home and listen to it.
So, why, if you're paying the whole package with its import costs, can't you buy an album/track from a store outside your native iTMS?
