Adding an Album to Spotify

So I recently noticed an old album (Sea of No Cares, 2002) of the band Great Big Sea is missing from Spotify, and I am wondering if it is possible for Spotify to gain the rights to it and put it up. If so, how would I go about requesting them to look into it? I emailed support and tweeted at @spotifycares, but neither has resulted in a helpful response. Anyone else come across anything like this? This particular case is odd to me because the band broke up in 2013 so I don't know why they would deny Spotify from using that particular album.

Hey there @tdamery

When an album or song isn't added, or is removed, or made available only in certain regions, it's almost always the choice of the artist or label - spotify wants people to enjoy an expanding library of over 30 million tracks but individual copyright decisions aren't theirs to make.

Here's what you can do to get that added:

Reach out to their page or label on social media or their site!
You can fill out this form to register your interest.
In the meantime, you can import local files to your spotify library
You can also add your vote to this active idea!

Hope that helps! ^_^
