Favorite Music Not On Spotify?

[Grandmaster_Magic]

Spotify is great. They have the largest library of music out of any music streaming platform. Sometimes artists and labels do not take advantage of this opportunity, however, and often are slow in remastering their catalog. There's even a channel on YouTube called "Not On Spotify" to preserve these out-of-print records. This is a place to discuss music that hasn't gotten the treatment it deserves for streaming and distribution. Preferably, post on one album/artist/song/label at a time so it is easy to read through the comments. You are allowed to include links from websites such as Discogs or YouTube, as long as the content isn't on Spotify (with exceptions for fake/bootleg releases on Spotify).

Spotify, I hope you're listening😉

Mazarati - Mazarati (Paisley Park Records, 1986)

I'll go first. Everyone knows that Prince had a lot of proteges and personal projects, but did you know he had a joint-venture with Warner Bros. Records called Paisley Park Records? My all-time favorite album is from a group called "Mazarati", produced by Revolution bassist, BrownMark. Out of all the albums on Paisley Park, this was expected to be a big hit. Unfortunately, it suffered from poor promotion, and hasn't been reissued since due to the nasty 90s divorce between Prince and WB. Nonetheless, it is a hallmark and testament to the popular 80s 'Minneapolis Sound'. It is legendary, and a rare but special find among record collectors. I give it 9/10.
