Album Disappeared from Apple Music and iTunes

I noticed this earlier in the month when I went to the iTunes store to "complete" the album. And it's not just Apple. Play, Play B-sides, and the combination album have all been pulled from EVERY streaming and download service. Even Amazon only lists the physical album for sale now.

I've searched for a reason, but have only speculation. Moby has listed his LA mansion for sale, and says the fame he received upon Play's release turned him into the worst version of himself. I think he probably had the album pulled himself.

Hi

I have recently come across this issue too, with several Ray LaMontagne albums (Trouble, Till the Sun Turns Black and Gossip in the Grain) and a Two Gallants album (The Bloom and Blight).

I have both Apple Music and Spotify and all the aforementioned albums cease to exist on both platforms; you can' even buy them outright on iTunes.

What's more confusing is that Ray LaMontagne has released all six of his albums on RCA Records - his last three are available and his first three are not...why!? Also, The Bloom and Blight album is apparently available if you live in Canada but not in the UK, yet their four other albums are all available here in the UK.

I'm sure there are many more albums that have now disappeared too. The most frustrating aspect of it is there is, seemingly, no information available online as to if/when these albums will become available again; i.e. should I buy the physical album (for the second time for a couple of those listed above - now lost/thrown out) or will they return to the streaming platforms in, say, a couple of weeks?

Would be great to hear from anyone else with any more info on this...

Cheers.

I noticed the same thing when Apple Music played porcelain but showed the artist as Deejay Heroes from a compilation album Sky Lounge 2. Maybe try searching for the songs by title and see if that works for you. In my case I also noticed the Moby songs that I downloaded from Apple Music were unaffected.

The music would disappear even if you had downloaded it; you would need to have purchased it to retain your copy. Only today the album Frames by Lee Dewyze disappeared from my iPad and I had downloaded it; all his other albums are still available. As this was released on another label I can only assume that they have revoked iTunes's right to stream the album. ??
