Great Albums Not Available On Spotify • Page 3

Not having Jay-Z's discography has stymied me more than a few times.

 

Ray Charles - Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

 

Wait that's really not on there? Gross. Such a perfect album.

 

I agree. I was really suprised. i suppose most of those songs are still available individually through the rest of his Greatest Hits and other various albums but i like to hear an album front to back.

 

The Morning Call - Rocket Science
The Track Record - Everything they have.
Drive Thru Records Christmas Album
Go Mordecai - While you were at the Rodeo
Guerilla - DUMB

 

This is also a surprising one. Shit's on Rolling Stone's top 500 albums, even.

 

Atom and His Package - A Society of People Named Elihu
Atom and His Package - Behold, I Shall Do A New Thing EP
Dr. Dre - The Chronic
Pusha T - Blocka

 

Wild Sweet Orange - We Have Cause To Be Uneasy

 

Lydia- This December, Its One More And I'm Free

 

That's a good one

 

The Kinks - The Kink Kronikles
Jackie Wilson - Mr. Excitement
X - Los Angeles
De La Soul - 3 Feet High and Rising
Jay Z - Entire Discography

 

State Lines - Hoffman Manor

 

El P - I'll Sleep When I'm Dead

wtf

 

Old Abram Brown - Alive in Winter

 

New Order - Substance

 

I’m sure it’s been mentioned, but anything on Drag City.

 

(All the below are for UK Spotify)

Agony and Irony by Alkaline Trio is missing. Even more baffling because Help Me, the single, is there.

Skindred have a similar problem whereby Roots Rock Riot is missing except Ratrace - possibly because it's one of their most popular songs - and Shark Bites and Dog Fights is missing entirely, which seems to be a rights issue as both were released on the same label (Bieler Bros Records)

Everything by Autopilot Off except their self-titled EP is missing - never understood why Make A Sound isn't there at least.

Also, Dear You by Jawbreaker.

The only theory I can come up with is the labels were disappointed with the commercial performance of each record and therefore are trying to screw the bands out of royalties.

 

"Agony and Irony" by Alkaline Trio is also missing here in Germany, so it's possibly a Europe-wide problem.

Same goes for "The Bright Lights of America" by Anti-Flag - only the title track is there as a single. I could understand this if this was because of problems with the label, but that album was released on RCA just like "For Blood and Empire" which is available. So I don't really get that.

 

Not anymore tho. A lot of their catalog was recently added

 

No Ty Segall, Bill Callahan, Will Oldham, Joanna Newsom, Silver Jews...

What did they add???

 

The End of History by Fionn Regan isn’t on Spotify and that’s one of the greatest albums ever.

 

the catalog is on Apple Music, not sure about Spotify I guess

 

Yes, Apple has some sort of exclusivity.

 

All of Lil Wayne's mixtapes being absent is a tragedy.

 

Agreed.
