Seems pretty cut & dried to me. But it seems to conflict with official guidance that only sales costing 40p or more count. My guess is that Amazon know their oats, but if they’re right they most have done some special deal. Any other ideas?
You can buy the track for 29p from Amazon here; MP3 with no DRM.
