San Francisco - The posthumous Michael Jackson Album "This Is It" will be sold on Apple's iTunes Store on Oct. 27, meaning either Sony Music/Epic Records has caved and will sell individual tracks in addition to the full album, or Apple has made an exception to its policy of only accepting albums if they are also made available for purchase as individual tracks, Wired.com reports. An earlier report had proffered that the album would be absent from iTunes, due to Apple's policy. Epic Records SVP of publicity Lois Najarian told Wired.com the company is currently working on the bundling issue.

Update: Wired.com reports that a compromise of sorts has been struck, which will see iTunes will stock both the full album, and a separate, six-song EP containing the previously unreleased tracks.
