The Marionettes' guitarists died just before Christmas. The band themselves are selling downloadable remastered versions of their albums in order to raise money for his funeral.

Sorry for this very dumb question, but what format is iTunes?
I do own a very cheap MP3 player, would that do? ... : : ...

Yes, I have made myself sort of incommunicado for some fifteen years in a way.

I don't believe it's on iTunes - I understand you get it straight from the band, presumably in MP3 format.
Any MP3 player, no matter how cheap should be able to play the standard formats (.mp3 and .wav). Not sure what format iTunes uses, but I believe they have their own special format, although I can't image they don't give an option for downloading music as mp3.
My choice would be to burn it off onto a CDR and play it on my CD player

Oh yes, and they don't have it on iTunes, fortunately ... ... I didn't read properly, again ... ...

Damn.
I always had a soft spot for the Marionettes. Thanks for the heads-up Maisey.

I'll order a CD in support. Had a listen to some of their songs, alright for me
and some variety to the other stuff I've got. Bad enough what happened there.
So double-thanks for the hint.

they were like a sillier version of the cult. but with a lisp.
that first album was a bit of a corker though
