I'm sure things are improving, but a few years ago the reverse could also be true. I went to a hifi day put on by a chap whose only music source was his subscription to one of the big providers (Spotify, possibly ?). I'd taken a couple of CDs with me and asked if I could play the title track from the King General album Money Run Tings https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTe-s23tc78. "Sorry" he said, "not on my streaming service". Hmmm. Then I asked for Chris Jones' Set 'Em Up Joe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4hegzsIRTI. They didn't have that either. I wandered away thinking "Nul points ...".

Cheers,

GJ
