I think Sanctuary is administering the Pye/Reprise Kinks rights in the States now. The first three albums were reissued here in the early 2000s via a partnership with BMG. Now they are hooked up with Universal, but perhaps they feel anyne who cares will pick up their imports, which are fairly well distributed here.

You'd think that Universal would want a group as big as the Kinks on iTunes. I wonder if there are other issues.

Poking into a little corner of stuff I'm interested in -- I find almost no Henry Cow (just a Peel Session), no Art Bears, very little Bob Drake, no Hail/Susanne Lewis, etc. A good amount of Fred Frith, but mostly albums from the 2000s. Is it possible that the ReR/Cuneiform scene is not generally represented on Spotify?
Btw - French Frith Kaiser Thompson's "Life, Love, Larf & Loaf" (one of my favorite albums!) is actually on here -- but credited to "By various artists," so hard to find unless you search one of the song titles...
