Album Imports, and "AutoRip" workarounds?

[WKoA13]

First, let me preface this by saying I ALWAYS use and prefer lossless audio, so what I am about to ask is concerning a short term/stop-gap solution, and NOT an attempt for me to make an audiophile threat about/defending the shit quality of MP3s.

SO... one of my favorite bands has a new album coming out. Unfortunately for me, the US release of said album is over 2 months AFTER the EU/UK release, which is this Friday, November 9.

I am wanting to either import the CD and vinyl, OR at the very least purchase the mp3 album to hold me over until I can get a US physical copy on January 25th.

However, Amazon UK will not let me order the mp3 album, or let me use any potential AutoRip features that might come with importing the disc, as my credit card is not tied to a UK address.

I have tried adding a UK address to my info, but this alone does not work.

Would I need to create a new Amazon UK account, with that as my default address, and then just use an AmazonUK gift card to purchase it? Would that allow me to get the mp3 files for now? Or is there any other sort of work around I can use to tied me over for the next few months?

I'm not trying to bootleg or pirate anything. I just want to be able to listen to this new album I've been waiting over a year for, at the same time as my fellow fans in Europe and the UK.

Thank you.
