While we're on the topic of prog, Spotify also has nothing by Henry Cow or Fred Frith in general, which combined with the lack of King Crimson is a dealbreaker for me.

Totally understand your pain :| They've recently added some very hard to find prog albums there, like Planet X, Andy West, Liquid Tension Experiment, Mahavishnu Orchestra, etc, but that obviously depends on what you like.

I dislike renting in general, especially something so important like access to music, but the only reason I do it in this case is indeed the availability of some hard to find rarities.

Perhaps such artists are not recommended (pun intended).

Apple Music has a whole bunch of Henry Cow. No King Crimson though.

There are 10 on Spotify. One "funny" thing is that they're all labelled "2017" or "2018" instead of the actual year of release.

They must have just recently been added. They weren’t there a few weeks ago. Thanks for the tip!
