Eric Bibb “Global Griot” removed from Tidal due to streaming


This was one of my favorite albums on Tidal.  The music was compelling and the Sonics outstanding on the MQA file.  I went to listen to it last night and it’s gone!  

When I investigated on the Tidal app it stated “record label does not permit streaming of this track”.

What the heck happened here?  Is this an isolated case, or could other albums suffer the same fate?  It is disappointing and concerning.

I would not be surprised to see more issues such as this with streaming services. It’s much the same with cable television, where local broadcasters sometimes get into fee disputes with a cable company, resulting in the loss of that channel for subscribers. It’s all about money.
