1001 great tracks that are not on Spotify

And actually I'm too hasty, the Super Mama Djombo is there on a compilation.
Replace with Rokia Traoré - Manian
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uL91QckxSoQ
Sorry about the mess, next one is 40

Comsat Angels-“Total War”

Aiming to listen to all of these - didn't expect to start with a 30-minute track but that Zoviet France opus is brilliant, thanks sleeve. Love the Vangelis too.

42. Under the Ivy - Kate Bush

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvKNzyO4wk0

Sorry, that was 41, not 42, if anyone is counting.

42. My Bloody Valentine - Strawberry Wine

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vE2JM31wnm0

43. Foul Play - Being With You (Foul Play Remix)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tye5M9W1Ce0

44. Omar S - Psychotic Photosynthesis

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpuke_gCGcg

45. Sleepers - Mirror

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHmiCUrkTFc

37 gil scott-heron+brian jackson — "we almost lost detroit"

This is on Spotify in the UK, on the album Bridges. It doesn't come up if you seach for Gil Scott-Heron, though. Spotify tends to treat collaborations such as GSH&BJ as separate artists in their own right.

George Braith - Musart

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qV10upAhScM

46. Linton Kwesi Johnson - More Time

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRMgX-SfVoU

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJ7D4Sqxt6M

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yd-k77q6me0

54. Number One Cup - Divebomb

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ko0ZDgO_3w

Wow ok didn’t A) read thread before posting and B) think anyone cared about that Number One Cup tune but me.

55) The-Dream - Love Me Back (this video is ridiculously pitched-up for some reason)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qovXKyQa_L4

56) Movement 98 - Joy & Heartbreak

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkAYGdbVhkk

57) Lil Louis & The World - The Luv U Wanted

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEOTwvJZ8cc

both Lil Louis albums are tragically absent from Spotify (which also means that of all his big (club) hits only “French Kiss” is there).

I will add:

58) Lil Louis & The World • I Called U (But You Weren’t There): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=to90wwlr9LY

59) Lil’ Louis & The World • Club Lonely (ft. Joi Cardwell): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqLmmM_sXH8

60) The Shields - Nature Boy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEU_ak5C5rA

the greatest song ever recorded, “All Night Long” by B.B. Band

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7jpCXznRf4

62. Akufen, "Deck the House"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7nNF0FJ3-I

63. Shoes / Reparata

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbXGx2dUcZg

64. Blues Creation - Baby Please Don't Go

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cF4OkMxJ3Y8

65. bonnie "prince" billy - i see a darkness

66. a$ap rocky - palace
67. bbu - chi don't dance
68. beanie sigel - purple rain ft. bun b
69. the folk implosion - natural one

70. Freeway & Twista - "Show Go On"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPh0Zr9nRCU

68. beanie sigel - purple rain ft. bun b

the greatest song ever recorded, “All Night Long” by B.B. Band

Great song, but there's a literally a spotify link in the YouTube video, unless that link doesn't work in the UK:
https://open.spotify.com/album/18aIJdcujTg1dZVbbAfbst

Oh wow! Didn't see that. For a long time it wasn't on Spotify, I guess they finally figured out their shit. Thanks!

xps to brimstead, i assume so, haven’t read anything about it

71. Judy Cheeks - So In Love (The Real Deal) (Sasha's Qat Mix)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZwu-0i5omU

72. Chungking - Voodoo

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wote2XlvYeU

73. Matching Mole - O Caroline

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHieZdP7Tis

beautiful tune, it's on spotify here
https://open.spotify.com/track/228f8Tz9O03JDw5swOEZLN?si=c02551e4a3dc44c6

this was a great idea for a thread

^ alas, not in the US! Wonder what's up with the licensing.

I think glenn's explained it elsewhere but it always baffles me that you'll often see albums where just one of the tracks is greyed out because of some sort of licensing issue

69. the folk implosion - natural one

Not on Spotify but also kind of on Spotify, at least on this strange covers album where I guess the idea was to try and sound as identical to the originals as possible (with the emphasis on try)

https://open.spotify.com/album/3bT7oB4a1R9ZYqHQjXmWAb?si=H67EB5OHSRKzenhZv0e9gw

74-93: Some more 80s-90s dance things including a couple like Voodoo Ray that have been on it in the past

Genaside II - Narra Mine
Gentle People - Journey (Aphex Twin Mix)
Human - Skating On Thin Ice
Isotonik - Different Strokes
The KLF - 3AM Eternal (The Orb Blue Danube Mix) - it's on volume 1 of the Orb's remix comps but only volume 3 is currently playable
Leftfield - Song For Life (Original '92 mix)
Lemon Interupt - Dirty
Lola - Wax The Van
Model 500 - The Passage
Monkey Mafia, Patra - Work Mi Body
Myron - We Can Get Down (Groove Chronicles mix)
Patti Day - Right Before My Eyes

Vernon's Wonderland not on there but Wonderer is which is just a re-titled identical version (I think)

oh thanks I never knew, seems like Wonderer was the original title in fact..and there's even a vocal mix (not sure I wanna hear that tbh)

It's on volume 1 of the Orb's remix comps

Vol. 2 rather - the only playable thing on that being the Art Of Noise remix

Oh god yes that was a big thing back then wasn't it, where some great early 90s trance track would get a re-release six months to a year later but this times with (usually female) vocals on: Children, Eugina, Offshore, Groovejet etc etc xp
