Does anybody know why Megadeth's "Killing Is My Business" isn't on Amazon (mp3)?

They have every other thing Megadeth recorded, in remastered qualtity, for MP3 Download, except their debut album! Does anyone know a reason why this album is ominously omitted? You can, of course, buy the CD, but I need another tangible CD around the house like I need another hole in my head.

I'm basically searching for the song Mechanix, but the only version available for download is the (clean version). Who the heck wants a sanitized song by Megadeth?!

iTunes doesn't have it?

No, it's not on iTunes.

They stopped the original CD because of right issues with 'These Boots', but I thought they did a re-release later. It's probably related to that somehow.

Killing is My Business... was originally released on Combat, and I believe the remaster is on Relativity. All of other Megadeth's releases are on different labels (Capitol, Roadrunner, and, I think, Sanctuary?) so that probably has something to do with it. Are other Combat/Relativity releases available from iTunes and Amazon mp3?

They shouldn't have even bothered putting the censored version on the remaster. What a total joke.

I agree with that.
