Thomas Dolby - Aliens Ate My Buick (Album not showing up completely)

Thomas Dolby - Aliens Ate My Buick (Album not showing up completely)

Hello. Been wanting to listen to this album/add it to a playlist of mine but only one song shows up on the album ("Hot Sauce"). A good friend of mine recommended the album and if I google the album "Aliens Ate My Buick", I find that the complete list of songs / album can be found on spotify. Curious if this can be fixed by mentioning it to the community. Thank you!

Hey @Labuenaflor

 

The availability of music on Spotify is up to the artists and their music label.

 

If the music is unavailable, the artist or their music label may have decided to not make it available in Spotify.

 

Sometimes the music is only available in certain countries, while access is blocked to others.

 

Sometimes the album or song will be unavailable temporary, and come back again later. Hopefully it will come back later.

It's true that music appears and disappears based on factors outside of Spotify's control. For instance, Thomas Dolby's entire catalogue was available on Spotify in the US for many years, but mysteriously disappeared about a year ago. 

The weird thing is the album Golden Age of Wireless populates with all the songs but you can't play them. They used to play.
