1001 great tracks that are not on Spotify

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)

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
Public Enemy - Do You Wanna Go Our Way?

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

Not sure where we’re up to after Nashwan’s stonking post but:
