Whitesnake content

Whitesnake content

    I'm just curious if the removal of their best selling albums was a label issue or a band decision. I haven't checked other sites yet. This is a development on the east coast of the USA. Or was there just so much confusion with different versions of the same albums?

   Either way, the real question is: will this content be available again in the near future or will it join Def Leppard's discography (never again)?

I just confirmed their material was also removed on Rhapsody and someone mentioned it wasn't available on Itunes, so I'm going with label issue. Any confirmation on that?

 

Hey @scottsharlyn, thanks for coming to the Spotify Community!

 

Missing or unavailable music is almost always a decision by the artist/label to withhold the content from Spotify. Sometimes it's temporarily unavailable while they sort out legal issues or correct metadata, in which case it'll be back up as soon as they resubmit it to Spotify. While it might be a good idea to contact the artist or label directly and ask why the music isn't on Spotify, you can also fill out this form to let Spotify staff know of your interest. You might also be interested in supporting this idea, which suggests a simpler method for requesting albums missing from Spotify.

Please let me know if I can help with anything else! Happy listening 🙂

It's an internet wide decision and it doesn't include older or newer material, so without being able to contact David Coverdale personally, I just assume it was the label. I'm not a gambling man, but my guess is by this time next year it will be available for streaming again.

 

And yeah, I like the idea so I gave it a vote. 🙂

 

It appears that the 1987 album is available again.  The Slip of the Tongue album, however, is still unavailable.
