Aerosmith album in 360RA no more

[Lucanu]

Hello everbody,
I don’t know if this issue is related to Europe or not, but I tried to play some Aerosmith in 360RA on my headphones and there’s no more 360 albums on my playlist from them. I double checked both Tidal and Amazon Music

Hmm yeah strange? I don't see the 360RA listings anymore either...

I wonder if Sony Japan are thinking of releasing them as 7" SACD reissues? Rocks and Get Your Wings were sourced from the 70s quadraphonic mixes whereas Toys In The Attic was from the 5.1 mix already released on SACD in 2003. (Mind you the Santana albums are still listed as available in 360... )

Maybe they're in line to get new object based surround mixes?! Maybe the group don't like the binaural mix down? Or it's simply a technical error?

Hopefully they'll come back online at some point. Both the quads are really great mixes and the 5.1 SACD goes for a pretty penny these days...

I suspect it has to do with the band's back catalog moving from Sony to UMG.

The official Tidal 360RA playlist for Aerosmith still exists, but now it contains no tracks.

Could this be reason to insist on physical media?

I searched for a 360 Aerosmith too, there are two more unofficial playlists, clicking one of thos it shows up the songs but when I try to play this is the error message I get with the first song:

… and this is with the second and that explains better:

It seems these albums are now some kind of 360 mix with ambiance in the rears, but are not the original quad mixes anymore. What a shame! What are you guys finding on Amazon and Tidal now?

I see no Aerosmith 360 tracks on Tidal.

Rocks, Toys, Wings all play as 360 on my Firestick on Tidal and Amazon with ambiance in the rears.

Obviously this is morally horrific, but I wonder what the legal ramifications are.

Optimism remains a hate crime.

I don't stream much music but I stream movies and live sports. From my understanding content is removed and added all the time at any time. Why is this surprising to anyone?
THIS is the downside of streaming and the most obvious argument for physical media.

Amazon music today. Streaming it in 360 now. It's not the original quad. I actually don't see 360 on Tidal though.

Further update. These are 360RA, but not the quads. There is much afoot in the Aerosmith camp. Evaluating the Vindaloo Vaults, and currently remixing their first self titled album. Could it be a multichannel mix?

Another thought. Could these quads have been pulled due to an impending hard copy release? Sure is a shame that they're not on streaming anymore.

The Discovery thing is people who have purchased shows, etc. Of course, if it's simply streaming service usage, that doesn't allow you a perpetual licence to the content, but purchasing shows should offer you that.

This is the reason many of us on this forum still have vary large collections of physical media. We are old enough to remember when something was available and then suddenly not available (usually for legal reasons, labels going out of business, etc.). Beatles butcher cover, Yardbirds Live, Cameo-Parkways, Vee-Jay Records, Quad albums & R2R tapes, for example.
