so is the limitation applied during registration for an account, or can I drive up to Vancouver and gain access to these songs somehow?

I'm not sure what would happen when you try to purchase but when I go to the site anonymously using a direct link (above), the logo that appears on the top left is eMusic Canada.

Yes, it is tied to your account, and not to the geographical location from where you download. While I was in Europe for the holidays, I opened a second account under my dad's name (with his permission
). I could keep downloading songs from that account once back to Los Angeles. For one month, I had two eMusic accounts.
On eMusic Europe there is really a lot of more material than on eMusic USA. Does anyone know the precise reason for that? However, if you are interested in Western Swing, eMusic Europe and USA both suck the same way.

I'm pretty sure it has a lot to do with differing copyright laws. In Europe songs go into the public domain after 50 years, whereas I believe the US has stronger laws (95/120 years or life plus 70 years)

I think it's that and/or the labels' licensing agreements

The lastest batch of the Complete Jazz Series is quite large (about 80 albums) and contains Andy Kirk (mmmmm...), Buddy Johnson, Gene Krupa, Illinois Jacquet, Harry James, John Kirby, Louis Jordan, Stan Kenton, and some early blues/jazz artists

A simple song recommendation:
Al Cooper and his Savoy Sultans - Frenzy [1940]
Available on the
Harlem Was The Place anthology.
It is not easy to find High Quality Al Cooper remasters, but this one rocks (at 265 bpm)!

Several discs in the excellent French "Best of Swing - The Jazz Era" series have been added. I have a couple of them on CD - it's HiQ stuff compared to the Chrono Classics (but only one disc per artist).
Can't find a way to list them separately, they appear together with the
Chronological Classics / Abeille Musique discs.
Weird, but now e-music has both the Classic Jazz series and the Chronological Classics series (and not the same discs)

Looks like Chrono Classics are now downloadable in the US.

Swing label lists

For more convenient browsing, I've created a few lists featuring high-quality reissue labels/series:
Best of Jazz - The Swing Era
Hep Records - The 1000 Series
Hep Records - The Metronome Series
Jazz Archives / EPM
I'll try to keep them updated if/when more discs are added. E-music only has about half of the titles in each series so far.
I don't know which of these are available outside Europe - can somebody from the land of freedom and opportunity enlighten us?
