Unlike the digital releases, this product is being sold by the UMC Division of Universal. I doubt if it will appear on Amazon, it will likely sell out on this site.
Clearance is quite simply establishing that Universal Music [[in this case) is legally entitled to offer a given track by a given artist for sale to the public. The fact that Universal have a copy of the track in their possession does not on its own give them the right to release it.
