Still no old De La Soul ;_;

I doubt there will be. De La can't legally reissue those records due to all the samples.

wonder if thats why they released them all for free via their website a few years back.

i wonder when the last of the uncleared samples on 3 Feet High & Rising will fall out of copyright. what was the most recent bit of music sampled on that anyway?

Owen Pallett's later albums, but not his Final Fantasy stuff. Troutmask Replica is not on there, but lots of other Captain Beefheart is

It was, and why they used the publicity from that to crowdfund a new record with no pre-existing samples.

De La can't legally reissue those records due to all the samples.
Started to think the samples issue was a red herring given the availability of countless other sample-heavy hip hop albums from the same era.

Aw yeah, just noticed that what appears to be the original mix of Snooze 4 Love sneaked in recently via a compilation album! Previously they had only had some remixes (e.g. Dixon's), which is fine, but I prefer the original

Felix Da Housecat's Kittenz And Thee Glitz and Devin Dazzle And The Neon Fever albums are finally up (listed as 2017 releases but aren't deluxe or different in any way from the originals).

Still no Smog/Bill Callahan other than a handful of tracks.

all the early X albums aren't on streaming

what was cleared vs. what was not cleared is totally random, number of samples has nothing to do with it
― Οὖτις, Friday, 29 September 2017 20:31 (six years ago) link
Beatles samples on Paul's Boutique for ex. = cleared
All of their albums are on Spotify, at least in Canada

Fleetwood Mac's pre-Buckingham/Nicks catalog seems to have been added at some point. Which ones are worth checking out?
― Moodles, Friday, 10 November 2017 19:58 (six years ago) link
From the Bob Welch/Danny Kirwan era, I'd definitely recommend Future Games (there's good stuff on Bare Trees as well).

Mystery To Me as well.

King Crimson do at least have some recent live recordings. Slade only have three hits, and there's still next to nothing from Joanna Newsom and Garth Brooks.
― mike t-diva, Sunday, 11 March 2018 20:14 (six years ago) link
Oh, and most Jay-Z is still absent.
― mike t-diva, Sunday, 11 March 2018 20:15 (six years ago) link
Newsom is on Drag City...
I assume that at least part of the reason RTX have jumped to Fat Possum (after a lifetime on DC) is they want their stuff to be available on Spotify etc., and FP is doing “digital reissues” of the old albums.
― absorbed carol channing's powers & psyche (morrisp), Sunday, 11 March 2018 20:27 (six years ago) link
Most of the releases on Tzadik. As far as I can tell, the only one on there is "Mayim Rabim" by Ayelet Rose Gottlieb and some stuff that's been available through other labels as well (e.g. Pharaoh's Daughter's "Out of the Reeds")John Zorn in general, though at least that great Sonny Clark Memorial Quartet record is on there.
Diamanda Galas' back catalogue has disappeared somewhat recently -- now there's just the two 2017 records.Devil Doll's never been available, but I guess they(/he) always made a point of limiting the availability of their records.
On the positive side: there's a ton of Magma on Spotify now. (Seventh Records editions, which I gather are the "proper" ones now, not the Charly releases)
― Øystein, Monday, 12 March 2018 10:01 (six years ago) link
There are various older acts who have received lavish career-spanning CD retrospectives from the like of Ace Records (UK), but who are represented on Spotify only via a few random compilation tracks (Reparata and the Delrons and The Goodees are a few examples).
― absorbed carol channing's powers & psyche (morrisp), Monday, 12 March 2018 20:01 (six years ago) link
Keiji Haino is basically absent.

Can't see anything else on Drag City yet.

I'm seeing some Six Organs of Admittance and Ty Segall stuff that wasn't there before.
