Sleaford Mods - MISSING ALBUMS

[Willbates5]

Hey all! 

Are there any other Sleaford mods fans getting frustrated with the missing Sleaford Mods albums? 

In my opinion the first 5 albums are much better than the latter! 

Does anyone know the reasons why these albums aren't available?

• Sleaford Mods (2007, A52 Sounds)
• The Mekon (2007, A52 Sounds)
• The Originator (2009, A52 Sounds)
• S.P.E.C.T.R.E. (2011, Deadly Beefburger Records)
• **bleep** (2012, Deadly Beefburger Records)

To rectify this problem I've had to upload my own local tracks but as some of you already realize this isn't ideal! 

Looking forward to your responses! 

Thanks

Will

Hey @Willbates5 

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.

Please check this Support article here for more info. 🙂

Thank you! 

Do you have any advise in terms of reaching out to the artist/record label to approve the albums on Spotify?

Thanks in advance!

Depends on the artist or band. Sometimes they're not even aware their music is unavailable. You could try to contact them through their website or facebook page.

Hope it helps. 🙂

I imagine it is because the Sleaford mods object to the pittance they get paid for people streaming their music on services such as Spotify. Fans should buy the albums to support their favourite artists.

Got them all pal, own most of the music I listen to Spotify also.  I pay a premium subscription to Spotify to help allow me discover similar artists to the ones I already know.
