And I’m sure Sony is doing nothing to rush along a resolution.

See, I knew I wasn’t crazy when the downloads disappeared from my account and I couldn’t search for the album anymore. I don’t know what’s going on but it would be nice if they could be a little bit more transparent about it. We’re at the very least that due to whatever issues the date is being pushed back

Yes, very. I have Apple Music which is pretty much renting music but I also purchase albums I want to own. It’s the equivalent of Apple sneaking into my house and stealing a CD a single and hoping I don’t notice.

Yeah this is why I originally was wondering what was going on with it and vanished from Apple Music & the iTunes Store. This is only pure speculation on my part but I’m wondering if the custodian who was unknown that recorded this surfaced or at least someone claiming to be him and so they have to work out some sort of legal issues around that before releasing to the public. Even with pushing the date back for release it seemed even stranger that they would pull the first two songs released from the album as well which I already paid for and downloaded. They vanished from my downloads on my devices

Me too via Apple - and they released two tracks as a preview but those have been recalled in various places. Maybe they aren’t releasing it digitally? edit: found this on the order page that says “PLEASE NOTE: DIGITAL DOWNLOADS ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO CUSTOMERS OUTSIDE THE U.S.” https://shop.theloniousmonkmusic.com/products/palo-alto-digital-album?variant=34655700713623

Maybe I should order it from Amazon instead! Love the birthdays on your arrival day!

For a reason I have yet to find, the Palo Alto live album by Thelonious Monk has vanished from the iTunes music store and Apple Music. It has also been removed from YouTube. I pre-ordered it through Apple but the pre-order is no longer listed. Also, the two preview tracks vanished from my downloads and playlist with no notification from Apple. What’s going on? Did the original gentleman who recorded it surface somewhere? Super disappointed it has vanished.
