Any of you assholes who have been going to work and throwing on Back to the Egg on Spotify in order to most exquisitely express your own douchebaggery through the majesty of cheese-rock are gonna have to settle on Supertramp’s Breakfast in America from here on out. According to Digital Music News, Both McCartney’s solo albums and his Wings records have been pulled from “all streaming services,” including the one that matters: Spotify.
It looks like the move was initiated by Universal Music Group on behalf of Concord Records (the owners of McCartney’s Hear Music label). DMN says that its sources “declined to share the exact reasons for the takedown,” but it can be assumed that McCartney didn’t think that the love streaming users were taking was jiving very well with the love they were making. The sources wouldn’t or couldn’t point to any specific decision-maker either, which means that the premise that the tunes were pulled by some punk rock Spotify worker who hates “Silly Love Songs” and loves Dragon Tattoo can’t be ruled out just yet.
On the plus side, the handful of non-terrible McCartney/Wings records like McCartney I, Band on the Run, and Ram weren’t pulled because they were never up there in the first place. Additionally, all his stuff will still remain available for download at places like iTunes and AmazonMP3, since he can actually make money on them that way. So… go download Ram, you tasteless losers!
