He's not exactly known for keeping his promises. And if this is ends up being an idle threat it'll do more harm than good.

I've read he may not be able to pull all his music, as he doesn't have 100% control

yep, neil's mostly gone. that didn't take long. inexplicably, the canterbury house archive series is still there, but some of the songs glitch and just stop playing.
in other news - did you know that the original eddy grant recording of "electric avenue" isn't on there?
spotify committing all sorts of offenses.

IIRC Ray Charles's ABC recordings (the stuff he owns post-Atlantic) aren't up there either.

Apologies, should've looked for and expanded the "skipping" link before searching for any mention of Ray Charles.

Not an act, but a song: Kate Bush's "Experiment IV" isn't on there. It's one of her best; wonder why it's not there.

You can see an artist's entire Spotify catalog, and what regions each release is available in, here:
https://everynoise.com/research.cgihttps://everynoise.com/research.cgi?mode=name&name=kate+bushhttps://everynoise.com/artistprofile.cgi?id=1aSxMhuvixZ8h9dK9jIDwL
Thus for Kate we can see that "Experiment IV" is actually available on two different releases, Selection from 'The Other Sides' (2018 Remaster) and The Whole Story, but neither of these are available in the US at the moment. Licensing...

It's curiously variable by territory, re Go-Betweens. Apart from BYBO, the conventional studio albums are each available SOMEWHERE. eg. https://everynoise.com/artistprofile.cgi?id=4HCubdy7diarb4KZo8etrq
Kinda similar for the solo material, but favouring different territories. eg. I can't access any of the 90s solo LPs whatsoever.- RF: https://everynoise.com/artistprofile.cgi?id=4yvuCAFk8vERXXBf138h8S- GM: https://everynoise.com/artistprofile.cgi?id=7tfS18oUEffScrxryTgwyC

Spotify is noticeably light on comedy albums. Very little Monty Python or Firesign Theater or Richard Pryor. No Eddie Murphy. One album each from Chris Rock and Sam Kinison.

like i'm kinda more mad about that than i am about de la soul at this point. at least i have that stuff on my ipod. plenty of cheap second hand copies of eddy grant stuff on discogs, but i'm not a thousandaire. you can't even buy the og "electric avenue" on like amazon digital. too bad.

also i don't know eddy grant's catalogue nearly as well as de la, so maybe bad comparison because i still have quite a bit of anticipation for eddy grant's music.

Spotify is noticeably light on comedy albums.
Long story here on why:
Last December (2022), Spotify pulled the content of hundreds of comedians, including Kevin Hart and John Mulaney, after it ended licensing negotiations with Spoken Giants, one of the first rights organizations for comedians.The lawsuits are part of a growing consensus among comedians that streaming platforms need to pay them—as the authors of their jokes—in the same way songwriters are paid royalties for writing lyrics.

I am consistently baffled whenever I look at US Spotify's selection of Let's Active recordings, which consists of:- Eight 'singles' that are just individual album cuts from 1983's Afoot and 1984's Cypress with the song title superimposed onto the album art (and one, "Waters Part," has the right release year but the wrong album art)- Nothing off of 1986's Big Plans for Everybody- Their entire last LP, Every Dog Has His Day, except for one song that is unavailable
...And every release that I mentioned came out on the same label (IRS), so I really have no idea what to make of it all.

Pussy Galore's catalog still not on streaming — Spotify has a 16-track sampler that's not mirrored on Tidal, and the Live: In The Red album is on both platforms, but that's it. I thought Matador owned their catalog at this point, so why isn't it out there?
― but also fuck you (unperson), Sunday, 8 January 2023 17:53 (one year ago) link
Are there no other Matador releases that aren't on it?
― more crankable (sic), Sunday, 8 January 2023 18:00 (one year ago) link
The Techno Animal album Matador put out, The Brotherhood of the Bomb, isn't available. The first and second Unsane albums are.
― but also fuck you (unperson), Sunday, 8 January 2023 18:11 (one year ago) link
The sampler (which seems to draw from their albums) says “© ℗ 2017 Pussy Galore,” while Live: In the Red is credited to In the Red Records. So maybe the band does control the studio recordings, and has only authorized the sampler.
