iTunes Music Store won't let me download a song :(

This should be my first iTunes Music Store purchase. So far I've just used my own albums, used the Store to get album art work and I've downloaded a lot of podcasts - but never actually bought anything.

I'm trying to buy; Ice Cream by New Young Pony Club. I search for this item and I get a single listing. I click on get song and get the following error every time.

Any advice - this is my first purchase so I suppose I could be doing something wrong... ?

Oh yeah - the item is not available anywhere else on the iTunes store - it is one album only - and I've been trying to buy it for like 40 minutes now (on and off) I try to buy it - get the error do something else, come back do another search - there it is in the same place it was before - so I try to buy it - same error!

Seems like the store is advertising something that isn't there anymore.

Bad luck, the song doesn't exist. Think of it like trying to buy a Ford Mustang at Wal-Mart. What isn't there can't be bought.

a) Buy it elsewhere
b) Get the CD

Oh ok then - just didn't know if I wasn't doing something...

My mobile provider sells music and you can download it to the phone and the computer for no additional price - so I guess if they support Macs I'll get it from them.

Thanks for your reply.
