That's similar to my experience. I can only buy from Amazon France things that they sell themselves. Nothing from any of the third party sellers. But I've found that Amazon Canada will let me buy from third parties, and sometimes they are in the US, but they don't appear on the US Amazon site. Just today I received the 'L'alizé' vinyl from an Amazon Canada third party seller in Germany.

The pnly thing I dont have a clue why they do it is the blockade on Youtube and Itunes.
I have been able to buy anything from Amazon.fr that they stock and sell directly. But when '5' was released it was (and still is) sold here in the US at the US Amazon so I got it from them. And '5' did/does appear on iTunes here, so I expect 'Blonde' will eventually. Maybe it has to do with royalties and rights and the process to set that up here may be slower than elsewhere for international music, but that's just a wild guess theory I came up with.
