Bob Dylan removed from Norwegian spotify database

18.08.2012

It's with great sadness that I have to report that a large part of Bob Dylans catalogue/albums has been withheld from the Norwegian spotify database. Great Albums like "Bob Dylan – Blonde On Blonde", "Bob Dylan – Live 1966 "The Royal Albert Hall Concert" The Bootleg Series Vol. 4" and "Bob Dylan – Bringing It All Back Home" has been dismembered and made unavailable.
This might just be a fluke, or a general bug, so I'll report back in within the next few days incase they decide to reinsert the tracks and albums.

Let's all cross our fingers and hope that these changes are not permanent, and that other restrictions are not imminent.

Also, why is the album Blood On The Track not available in Finland?

It was available earlier but not anymore.

EDIT: Just checked and the album is again available.

EDIT:

So it seems that John Wesley Harding is not available in Finland at all.

(There might be others but thats the one I noticed right away)

Rejoice, Bob Dylan – Live 1966 "The Royal Albert Hall Concert" The Bootleg Series Vol. 4 is back on spotify. Lets hope it comes hand in hand with the other missing albums!

And it also seems that John Wesley Harding is available in Finland.

Maybe there was some sort of maintenance going on as some of the albums were unavailable for some time.

Just checked and it really seems theres most of the stuff available, but some albums have songs unavailable at the moment for some unknown reason.

This is what I have listened from:

Songs of Bob Dylan: After Clinton Heylin's Chronological List

Ivander, what all is still missing from Norway?

EDIT:

I just checked and it seems that (atleast in Finland) these are not available (might be others but didnt have too much time to explore:

From official studio-albums:

Bringing Down The Home (1965) has only missing 1 song (#11)

New Morning (1970) has only one song available (#7)

Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid (1973) only missing 1 song (#9)
Dylan (1973) not available at all

From official live-albums:
The 30th Anniversary Concert Celebration (1993) not available at all
Live at the Gaslight 1962 (2005) not available at all
Live at Carnegie Hall 1963 (2005) not available at all
In Concert - Brandeis University 1963 (2011) not available at all
Live in New York Gaslight Cafe 1961 (2012) not available at all

I could find some compilations that did not have any tracks available and one that had some available to Finland (Bob Dylan The Collection 2006, 67 disc digital iTunes collection).

That's a good write-up SP1883. After checking your list up against Dylan's discography I can now see that Norway and Finland  probably is synced when I comes to availability (All of Scandinavia?).

It is very annoying that some of the albums are only partially intact and that some of his live albums are not available at all.
They did such a good job bringing most of the good ol' albums over, so why wouldn't they bring the whole discography?

1962 Gaslight is removed from US Spotify as well. Sad.
