Hey @joebelnap! Welcome to the Spotify Community. ^^

Sometimes content gets removed because of licensing changes.

For me there are 4 songs missing. Hopefully Spotify will have it available again soon! 

Peace ^^

So pissed. My favourite song on the album too.

Song is still not on Spotify. I can pay for any other music app and have the song as well as others. So what's the reason I have Spotify??

[Jky]

Get the f***ing song. I don't care what it takes but I am an unsatisfied customer until you do so.

Spotify tries really hard to get music available on their service, but in the end the availability of music on Spotify is up to the artist and their music label.

This thread by Spotify staff explains why some music is not available:

I assume there was a copyright notice or claim on this song due to the sample('s). I hope this helps.

Best answer. Answers not complaints. Schoolboy has it off because he can’t afford it. It’s not Spotify’s fault.

Literally about to drop Spotify because of this. Think this was the straw that broke the camels back.
