It's not valid for iTunes. iTunes expects a streaming audio URL to open

Actually, the iTunes' Applescript dictionary says
open location v : Opens a Music Store or audio stream URL
open location [text] : the URL to open
Also, if you right-click (or control click) on an item in the iTunes store, one of the menu items is to copy the item's URL, which results in a URL like the one that Roy had in his script.
Theoretically it should work, unless the dictionary is wrong.
I should have read what I typed before I sent it.
I wouldn’t say the dictionary is wrong. I would say that if it is an http URL then iTunes would expect it to be an audio stream. If it was an itms URL then it would be an iTunes Store link. E.g. “itms://something here”. I found the protocol in the Info.plist inside the iTunes.app package. The big question is what does iTunes expect for an itms URL.
