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.

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."

OK. That comp is not on Spotify either, although "Give Me Just A Little More Time" is because it was on some soundtrack.
― My Elusive Memes (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 21 July 2012 18:48 (eleven years ago) link
(Of course nobody said that comp was on Spotify)
― My Elusive Memes (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 21 July 2012 18:49 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, it's not on iTunes either.

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

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.
― The GeirBot (Geir Hongro), Tuesday, 5 February 2013 01:27 (eleven years ago) link
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.
― The GeirBot (Geir Hongro), Tuesday, 5 February 2013 01:30 (eleven years ago) link
Besides those, "Red Rose Speedway" is absent as well.
g'day Geir.
― charlie h, Tuesday, 5 February 2013 01:32 (eleven years ago) link
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.
― Frobisher the (Viceroy), Thursday, 7 February 2013 22:09 (eleven years ago) link
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.

weird, now he is suddenly on it, i swear there wasn't even his name on spotify this morning. or maybe i misspelled his name...

Hall & Oates. Weirdly there are over a dozen cheap fake compilations of the stuff they were doing separately in the late 60s, but none of the real deal.
― riverrun, past Steve and Adam's (ledge), Monday, 1 April 2013 08:22 (eleven years ago) link
That's odd - I can see loads of thir stuff, including 70s albums. Try searching for "Daryl Hall & John Oates" instead of "Hall & Oates".... weirdly, this made a difference on the iPad app.
― mike t-diva, Monday, 1 April 2013 09:16 (eleven years ago) link
Ok looks to me like Dary Hall & John Oates has all those fakey compilations, a couple of their 70s albums, and one best of with the 80s singles - but if you look under just Daryl Hall, all their 80s stuff is there. Stupid Spotify.
― riverrun, past Steve and Adam's (ledge), Monday, 1 April 2013 09:24 (eleven years ago) link
Search under just "Daryl Hall" and a lot of their 80s stuff comes up

Oddly enough this is not the case in MOG, where everything is properly under Hall & Oates.

Before i deleted my account, they didn't have any Ben & Bruno

xp PROPERLY would put it under Daryl Hall & John Oates. Hall & Oates is informal shorthand.

Hey, Spotify. If I happen to make a playlist which contains artists you don't feature, you're not going to hurt my feelings if you just leave that slot blank.
In fact, I would prefer it. I don't know who this is singing "I'm Losing You" from a John Lennon tribute album, but perhaps there is a reason why I didn't have that version in my playlist.
― pplains, Tuesday, 16 April 2013 16:58 (eleven years ago) link
"What Is Life" and possibly 1 or 2 other George songs were recently removed.
Those same 3 or 4 Lennon songs are still streaming however.
