Missing albums on Spotify/Apple?

[The Truth]

Morrissey should have bought his masters. Now that so much music is streamed that is where the money is. He really ought to do *something* to make a big payday and buy them back. The way it is now at 3 cents for every thousand plays he will have to tour forever.

"Years of Refusal" no longer on US Spotify

Couldn't help but notice Years of Refusal is gone from Morrissey's US Spotify page, joining You Are the Quarry and Ringleaders in their absence. Not sure when this happened, but I just now noticed it. The catalogue jumps from Swords down to Maladjusted.

Any possible reason for this?

Yes, just went to listen to Ringleaders and only track available is Pigsty. Now I see that Refusal too has gone. Sucks. No idea why though

BMG now own them they will be reuploaded soon

Well....I guess thats sorted.

What should we discuss now?

BMG pulling the plug?

Pretty sure they just get removed when they turn 10 for some reason because Quarry and Ringleader have been gone for years

Not in Europe though.

BMG pulling the plug?

Morrissey used to own them off the attack label but I guess BMG own them now and will re upload them

All missing albums are back for me, along with Southpaw Grammar (standard edition) and Live at Earl's Court which weren't there previously.

Yes, they are back! Great news!
