Summary:
Text in "In the Store" view of albums is appears blurry due to excessive drop shadow when "Use custom colors for open albums, movies, etc" is disabled.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Uncheck "Use custom colors for open albums, movies, etc" preference
2. In "Albums" view click on an album
3. Click "In the Store"

Expected Results:
"In the Store" text is clear, as the text throughout iTunes is (and, oddly, is the text of track names)

Actual Results:
Because of drop shadow of all text from "In the Store" it is challenging to read song and album titles. They all take on a bit of a "smudged" appearance.

Regression:
Unknown. (N/A from previous major versions of iTunes)

Notes:
Attached screenshots with a couple of examples

This occurs on a Mac running OS X 10.8.2.  Additional (full screen) screenshots attached. Sorry for the confusion.
