Acts that are not on Spotify

Lots of jazz records are ruined on Spotify the same way.
But it is weird how selective that is.

yeah I don't get how that happens. Maybe one particular musician who appears on the tracks will not grant rights and that causes individual tracks to be stripped out?

Just realized there's no Cap'n Jazz on spotify... On the bright side all the Polvo albums are up!

I think it just comes down to lengths, Spotify just doesn't like long tracks for whatever reason. I was listening to some early Allman Brothers and the albums were on there, but the long epic jams weren't.

I don't think that's it.

nah that can't be it!

Being away from my record collection for the past 2 months I've only had Spotify to keep me warm at night. The lack of Coil is killing me.

mid-period (post green, pre buckingham) fleetwood mac

nah that can't be it!

I'm not arguing that it definitely is, but I really am struggling to figure out why 7 tracks out of 8 on the same album work, but the 8th won't. They are share the same songwriting credits, so that theory of a sole holdout doesn't wash either. The only reason I brought up the song lengths thing is because whenever I come across an album missing only one or two tracks, its consistently when the songs in question are more than 10 minutes in length.

The first five or six De La Soul albums are not on there.

wait, so, even if you pay for a subscription the long tracks aren't on there? i figured it was just something for free accounts. mog has all the long tracks.

It can't be song length... the re-issue of Dopesmoker is up there and its a 60+ minute track;

I haven't tested this theory but is it the tracks that are only available on itunes if you buy the full album? Seems like it could be a default setting from some distributors that no-one's changed.

Only "Me, Myself & I"... THANKS SPOTIFY.

I have a vague recollection that the no-long-tracks issue was specific to (or most common with) Universal-related albums?

longest track i can think of on a commercial CD from recent(ish) times is Goldie's Mother from Saturnz Return which clocks in at 71 minutes and 53 seconds.
it's present and correct on Spotify uk.

They might be trying to negotiate for higher per-stream payments for long tracks? Would make sense.

Cannot find proper version of Freda Payne's "Band of Gold"

Holland, Dozier, and Holland still own the Invictus catalog. Looks like the last thing to come out were some artist comp CDs in 1996.

What about the Chairmen of the Board comp in the early 2000's?

Yeah, [urlhttp://www.amazon.com/Best-Chairmen-Board-Ten/dp/B0000641A8/ref=sr_1_3?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1342895778&sr=1-3&keywords=chairmen+of+the+board]this one? Maybe they licensed it out for that EMI "Ten Best Series."

Yeah, this one? Maybe they licensed it out for that EMI "Ten Best Series."

OK. That comp is not on Spotify either, although "Give Me Just A Little More Time" is because it was on some soundtrack.

(Of course nobody said that comp was on Spotify)

Yeah, it's not on iTunes either.

Cannot find me no muslamic ray guns on Spotify.

Placebo!

Not that ILM cares, but the Eagles.

Some days you're just in the mood for "These Shoes", I get it.

"Those Shoes". Whatever.

Album that is not on Spotify: Heat Treatment, by Graham Parker. Listening to Stick To Me instead

Art Bears (anything from Chris Cutler's label, really)

Metallica now on Spotify, Lars Ulrich making the announcement with a Napster co-founder at his side

The principle behind that being...?

Annoyingly, only 1 Died Pretty album is on there.

McCartney and Wings = BACK! it happened at the start of December supposedly, only just noticed.

manilla road was there for while, and now... nada.

What's become of Geir? Hasn't posted for months unless I'm mistaken.

I went and created a music forum on Facebook (in Norwegian) including many of the features I like about this place.
Just don't find the time to post here as often, but I haven't abandoned ILX completely.

Read now that Led Zeppelin will be on Spotify shortly as well. Elton John has largely disappeared, but probably just albums disappearing because of some reissue program, I guess.

Regarding Paul McCartney/Wings, it seems the middle part of his solo career is still absent. Everything from "At The Speed Of Sound" through "Tug Of War" missing. I believe they have yet to be reissued on CD as well though, so I guess just a matter of time.

Besides those, "Red Rose Speedway" is absent as well.

g'day Geir.

The Oasis thing seems strange to me, as obviously their albums are only absent in the US.

On the other hand, Material Issue are unavailable in Europe.

no OM apparently unless i ain't looking hard enough. that kinda sucks.

nope I think I've looked for them too and no dice. "Ea" exists but its very hard to find them as you might imagine.

Southern Lord and Profound Lore Records dont appear to be on Spotify outside of the USA.
OM's latest is on Drag City who are not on Spotify at all.

Richard Thompson

Pretty much everything he's done up to 'Electric' is available in the UK, must be one of those territitorial things. On a less crucial note, no Hootie and the Blowfish.
