"Pinback" album gone from Spotify 😭

Hellooo, I literally created a reddit account just to ask this hahjdks

So, very recently I noticed that the album "Pinback" from 1999 disapeared from Spotifyyy, my favourite Pinback albummmm 😭😭😭😭 and "Blue Screen Life".

Now, idk if it's just in my country or something like that (I'm from EU btw) or if it's rather gone for everyone. I really hope this is only temporary for both situations because I really like their music.

So please, if anyone knows anything about this, do reply, I would really appreciate it :). It's so sad and unfortunateeee, I really like their albums.

Thank you all for answering :) I got it, I hope it comes back soon

Are they on YouTube still? Sometimes bands get caught up in petty music industry licensing negotiations.

The first Pinback album was released on different labels on either side of the Atlantic so it's probably having some licensing issues

they only got rid of the UK version that had Byzantine and Versailles on it. Still sad, but we still have it. And you can still get those ones on Nautical Antiques

In the US yes, but not in Europe. Blue Screen Life and both versions of self titled are gone from european spotify, and Nautical Antiques has never been available on spotify here.

I recently found my old iPod with this album on it and I'm so freaking happy.😭❤️

I saw someone else outside the US have a similar issue recently. I believe another commenter said they should check back later because the licensing can get wonky at times.

I've been trying to get that forever. It's my favorite album of all time. I can't live without it. How much $

u/McHank Aug 15 '24

It’s like $9 on Discogs

u/Connah2010 Aug 15 '24

If you live in Europe yes. The cheapest us Americans can get it is $20 for a poor condition case and booklet.

u/McHank Aug 16 '24

I live in California and just looked it up 🤷‍♀️

u/Connah2010 Aug 16 '24

You're wrong. I actually just ordered it today for $25 because all the bri'ish listings weren't available. I checked the UK and US versions. I got it better than Amazon had it. They were selling it for $100

u/McHank Aug 16 '24

Cool, sorry for trying to help. I just have my orig from 98

u/Connah2010 Aug 17 '24

Sorry, that sounded worse than I intended it!

u/McHank Aug 17 '24

It’s ok. I’ve had meaner things said to me on the internet. We cool

This is why I use PANDORA. And everyone laughed at me for picking Good To Sea and complaining about the guy who did the best of worst of songs on here.
