Hi @musicman80,

Thanks for posting in the Spotify Community!

I was wondering if the tracks on this album are greyed out for you? If so, it means that the album is currently unavailable in your country.

Availability of music on Spotify can vary over time and between countries, depending on agreements between Spotify and rights holders, such as artists or record labels.

Spotify adds new content every day, so if you can’t find something that you’re looking for right now, it may appear (or reappear) soon. In the meantime, you can import local files to your Spotify library if you have this music as files on your computer.

Let me know if you have any other questions, and have a good day!

Yes, the tracks appear to be greyed out. Can you tell me which countries
this album is available for? Thanks!

Hi @musicman80,

Thank you for your reply!

You can use this tool to check album availability on Spotify across different countries, by copying and pasting the album URI into its search field, or by dragging the album artwork from Spotify to somewhere on the webpage.

When I tried entering the URI for this album into this tool, it indicated that “Exact match for the requested album is not available”, and it didn’t show for which countries this album is available. However, it did show that the album is currently unavailable in each of these countries:

AD AR AU AT BE BO BR BG CA CL CO CR CY CZ DK DO EC SV EE FI FR DE GR GT HN HK HU ID IS IE IT JP LV LI LT LU MY MT MX MC NL NZ NI NO PA PY PE PH PL PT ES SG SK SE CH TW TR GB US UY

Let me know if you have any other questions, and have a good day!
