Song + Album Request

IB9 — Fri, 30 Sep 2016 01:43:23 GMT

Hello

I am based in Australia and would love to have access to the following;

Song: And I love Her (Cover by Bob Marley and the Wailers) - This is an amazing version and would love it on my playlists

Albums; "Receipe for Hate" and "Stranger than Fiction" by Bad Religion.

I can get all the Bad Religion albums apart from the above 2 in Australia.

Any idea on if these might be available would be great.

Hey IB9,

Spotify has deals with the major record labels as well as some of the large independent aggregators like Merlin but there are still lots of labels around the world which they don’t have deals with yet. Their content team is constantly working to sign new deals and get music from our current partners but it’s hard for them to contact every label and artist individually.

So how do you know if your favorite artist will be available on Spotify? First you can find out what label the artist is on with Discogs, an excellent resource for finding music information. Then have a look at the labels they have signed, if the artist is covered by one of the deals then it’s likely they’ll get added to their catalogue in the near future. They’re currently adding about 10,000 tracks a day from their current deals.

If they’re not a part of one of their current deals then the way you can contact the label or artists and let them know you want to hear their music on Spotify.

Thanks,

StevenMadden
