Multiple related albums exists, but API only returns one

I've written an app which lets me to flag certain albums as 'featured' within my app, which has been working fine, but I noticed today that some albums which I was sure I had flagged had lost their flag, so I looked into it a bit further.
After pulling the albums back from Spotify (using the /aritsts/xxx/albums/ API) I still had some flags left over, which I couldn't attach to an album, an example is..
https://open.spotify.com/album/68wQRlCBGhBW3BNuXKr36W (this is the ID that I stored months ago)
https://open.spotify.com/album/097eYvf9NKjFnv4xA9s2oV (this is the ID that's returned when pulling back a list of artists' albums from the API)
https://open.spotify.com/album/0E4xv5gPjykrwBgBZzI8XG (this is the ID of the album that's shown within Spotify in the list of albums)
When I open any of these links, it shows a little dropdown box at the bottom of the list of tracks saying "2 More Releases" which allows me to choose any of the above, which makes sense.
So I guess my question is, how do I find a list of 'associated albums', it would be great if a list of 'related releases' could be included in the album API definition, or if there was a separate API call to say "Get me a list of linked albums for a artist" then at least I could use this information to update my featured flag. I just had a quick look at `external_ids.upc` to see if this was the same, but all 3 of the above have different UPCs.
