Spotify search API - NOT operator doesn't work when combined with filters

Just to report an issue with Spotify advanced search API. The NOT operator (or '-') doesn't appear to work when combined with a 'artist' or 'album' filter.

Returns results (track from particular album):

The Place Where He Inserted The Blade album:"Ants From Up There" artist:"Black Country"

Does NOT return results (same track from same album with NOT or '-' operator):

The Place Where He Inserted The Blade album:"Ants From Up There" artist:"Black Country" NOT live

The Place Where He Inserted The Blade album:"Ants From Up There" artist:"Black Country" -live
