Acts that are not on Spotify

woah that is excellent news

early sabbath also finally

sweet! I updated my 70s Hard 'n' Heavy playlist from last year's big 70s countdown

yeah it ruined this year's ilm poll for me cuz there's not alot there that isn't gonna get blown away by anything on vol. 4.

Most of the Peter Gabriel albums are on in the US now, I just noticed.

early sabbaths always been available in uk. Wonder why it took so long for usa. Bigger market they actually sell cds in?

Funkadelic's WB records aren't on Spotify but are on MOG for some reason.

elliott smith added.

all the more recent Prince albums but based on sampling 'em doesn't seem like I'm missing out on much

why is Lovesexy just one long track?

that's how prince released it, it's the same way on cd

the copy I got has 'em separated. Which is good since I like five songs and that'd be a pain

Yeah I found a cue sheet online on some prince board and split mine into tracks with it. Only time I've ever done anything like that.

The Necks

Hmmm ... I'm in Australia, and I can only find one Necks track (on a comp) on Spotify. :-(

The Coil selection is meagre (relative to their output!), but I guess there are legal complexities there.

Also, no Comsat Angels.

Weirdly, there's stuff on Spotify mobile I can get with no trouble, but it ain't there when I'm on the PC

And yeah,the Necks in Aus are unavailable

t rex

gah n/m, there's t rex t. rex, t.rex

Looks like the whole(?) Numero catalogue is up now!

I noticed last night that The Kinks' 60s catalog is now on there.

Yeah that was a nice surprise

Though actually the nice surprise for me wasn't the 60s stuff - most of which I own - but the ability to explore all the post-Lola stuff without spending money

yeah, it just took a lot longer for the earlier stuff to show up

was everything post-lola there until now? i thought there was just a handful of kinks before now - that the 60s classics showed up with more of the 70s & 80s as well. but anyway, yeah, glad the kinks are more explorable in general.

There was a point previously when a lot of the old Kinks releases were on there, then much of it was taken off. Glad they're back.

oh hey did the RVNG catalogue just show up?

nice!!

Owen Ashworth's catalog (Casiotone for the Painfully Alone, Advance Base) has been missing from Spotify for about a year, but this morning I saw he wrote a feature for Tidal promoting his record, so I guess it's on there. Must be an anti-Spotify thing a la Taylor Swift?

Wish Drag City would break and go streaming, at some point the revenue curve has gotta bend as more and more people go streaming only and artists on the label go increasingly off the radar and out of the cultural conversation. I would even pay $5/month for an all-DC streaming service, which is $60 more a year they're getting from me now just bc I don't want to hassle with files.

Missing the Felt catalogue, Comsat Angels, and big chunks of Momus, hope to see 'em show up someday.

"missing big chunks of Momus" is a display name waiting to happen

Whoever nabs DC streaming rights will get my money.

all the felt albums used to be on there...

i really don't see the problem with labels refusing to stream their entire catalog for free...

or virtually free or whatever

he's been pretty public about his hatred of Spotify et al, tweeted about it etc.

in a truly unnoticed blow for tidal all the flatbush zombies tracks are gone

George Harrison just got added it would seem

yeah my longheld 'it's a shame george harrison isn't on spotify, he's totally someone whose catalog i'd like to check out' stance kinda wilted when i came face to face w/ what george harrison's solo catalog actually consists of

Yellow Magic Orchestra

"Daddy's Gonna Pay for Your Crashed Car"—the only song off Zooropa that was for some reason not available on Spotify—is finally available.

i think pretty much everything by Radiohead will be up there as of tomorrow when the new one goes up. In Rainbows went up this week which had never been up there before iirc.

Just realized that Beatles Anthology is on now. Don't think that was part of their big Beatles roll out.

Pretty much every Les Savy Fav album is up including some weird live albums but not the "Rome (Written Upside Down)" EP.

King Crimson
Slade
Tool

these are the holdouts from the list at the top of the thread. what's it going to take to get some Slade on there?

Most of the Peter Gabriel albums are on in the US now, I just noticed.

Now you see him, now you don't.

Yeah, now that prince is on Gabriel is one of the folks whose absence i note most

sublime frequencies catalog would be a true blessing o course

Just realized that Beatles Anthology is on now. Don't think that was part of their big Beatles roll out.

Still no YMO, but there's pretty much everything by Ryuichi Sakamoto. Wonder what the issue is.

aluminum tunes by stereolab, not on iTunes either

That might be because it was released on Drag City
