"Return of The Rapiers", "Back to the Point" on iTunes

Backitunes

Do you download digital music from iTunes? In time for the holidays, 35 Rapiers tracks at $.99 apiece are stocked, at least on the American branch of Apple's service.

Go here to grab 13 tunes from 1991's Return of The Rapiers and here for another 22 from 1994's Back to the Point, the super-sized reissue of the band's 1985 debut long-player. Better yet, if you're on a year-end budget, you'll save a bushel by ordering each album for only $9.99.

So far, top download is (smart choice!) Breakfast at the Ace, from Return of The Rapiers.

NB: Overseas friends, let me know where the links take you. At last check, USA-based users were blocked from shopping the UK iTunes store.
