24KG purchase - iTunes vs. Amazon

Did anyone purchase the digital download from either store? Usually it indicates if it comes with the artwork but it doesn't specify if it does on either iTunes or Amazon. It's almost half the price at Amazon.

I bought the deluxe version on iTunes and it didn't come with a digital booklet which is annoying to me. I saw Best Buy has the cd on sale so I might go buy that today for the booklet and to have an extra copy.

Thanks kaka125, yeah, that totally blows. You can purchase the deluxe version on Amazon for $7.00 and the standard for only $5.00. Now if iTunes had the artwork that would be a different story but since they don't, makes no sense to spend more money for nothing. Grrr! I'm going to Best Buy after work.

I am pathetic Travis. I bought it on iTunes and also did the Warner Brothers Delux thing, so I have TWO exact copies of each song in my iTunes account plus the double LP version. They (iTunes and Warner Brothers download) both have artwork. I didn't buy it on Amazon. I just got the poster (haven't opened it) and the little Stevie 24 Karat Gold picture book in the mail a few minutes ago. I'm happy! I guess I should go out and buy the CD version to certify my insanity, although there is a cd inside the picture book too. I need the hard case.

bc,

Your iTunes purchase came with a digital download of the CD artwork?

Sorry, misunderstood you. I got the "cover" picture art with iTunes only.

I bought the deluxe edition on Amazon and it didn't come with anything but the MP3s

Bought my cd from Best Buy today. Wasn't in a real hurry after having the online album for free for over a week. First time in 33 years not buying the same day as the release. Barnes & Nobles had run out of copies, but BB had plenty. Ten bucks. Nice booklet. ..happy

But the store copies are not the Deluxe version, correct?
