In Australia, the special edition album is being sold for A$22.99 on iTunes Australia, compared with US$12.99 on Amazon Music US and US$15.99 on iTunes US.

That's despite the Australian dollar being above parity with the greenback.

So does something need to be done about what Australians are paying for their music?
