Partial Album

What's with the whole "Partial Album" thing on iTunes?

I want to replace my tape collection from 10-20 years ago, but many of the tapes I have are coming up as "Partial Albums" on iTunes Music Store.

If I want to buy them, I have to buy them track-by-track, missing out some tracks from an album. Paying more over all, as well.

This is presumably due to artistic differences between the licensing agents, but come on. The only person getting screwed here is the consumer.
