Acts that are not on Spotify

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

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

hmm maybe, but that's just the US version and would've been licensed from Duophonic/Warp presumably? So that doesn't really explain it, because Refried Ectoplasm & Dots & Loops were released by Drag City as well.

Just give me Hamilton Bohannon's "Disco Stomp", dammit.

Went looking for stuff on the DIW label (Japanese jazz imprint with a fuckton of amazing stuff in their catalog) and for some reason only David Murray's albums for them are on US Spotify. None of their Art Ensemble of Chicago records or anything else.

Original studio versions of Isley Brothers hits such as "Who's That Lady?" have gone missing.

Still no Slade, hopefully reissue of 'Slade Alive' may get them on board.

Still so sad about YMO. No Hosono, either.

Pere Ubu's late '80s/early '90s major label albums!

deckchairs overboard is on now :)

Still no old De La Soul ;_;

I doubt there will be. De La can't legally reissue those records due to all the samples.

wonder if thats why they released them all for free via their website a few years back.

i wonder when the last of the uncleared samples on 3 Feet High & Rising will fall out of copyright. what was the most recent bit of music sampled on that anyway?

Owen Pallett's later albums, but not his Final Fantasy stuff.
Troutmask Replica is not on there, but lots of other Captain Beefheart is

It was, and why they used the publicity from that to crowdfund a new record with no pre-existing samples.

Aalyiah's "One in a Million" and her S/T still not on there.

Started to think the samples issue was a red herring given the availability of countless other sample-heavy hip hop albums from the same era.

Aw yeah, just noticed that what appears to be the original mix of Snooze 4 Love sneaked in recently via a compilation album! Previously they had only had some remixes (e.g. Dixon's), which is fine, but I prefer the original

the Angelica album is not on spotify. liberation's wasted on them

Felix Da Housecat's Kittenz And Thee Glitz and Devin Dazzle And The Neon Fever albums are finally up (listed as 2017 releases but aren't deluxe or different in any way from the originals).

Still no Smog/Bill Callahan other than a handful of tracks.

all the early X albums aren't on streaming

what was cleared vs. what was not cleared is totally random, number of samples has nothing to do with it

Beatles samples on Paul's Boutique for ex. = cleared

all the early X albums aren't on streaming

All of their albums are on Spotify, at least in Canada

yeah here, More Fun in the New World is the earliest one available on both Spotify & Tidal (assuming this is true for Google Music, Amazon and Apple)
