I too subscribed but got no email, for some reason we don't get the free track each week either but from what I hear thats no great loss. Your'e right there are some massive omissions, UK bands too, Coldplay being one of them as they have exclusive tracks on the US site but not even an album on the UK one, seems strange to me. I hope the catalogue will expand to include some of those from the US store in the coming weeks and will keep up with release dates over here so you don't have to wait from a CD being released until it is available on iTMS UK.
