I decided to give Heaven And Earth (by Yes) another try and see if i like it more after listening to it again, but found that it wasnt on Spotify any more! Does anybody know why they took it off?

Maybe they realized how terrible it was and decided to take it off LOL

Nah, just kidding. But it's definitely my least favorite Yes album by a long shot
Take me down, to the underground
Won't you take me down, to the underground
Why oh why, there is no light
And if I can't sleep, can you hold my life

It's normally due to copyright/ownership issues.

I would guess it's a licensing issue.

The full album is on YouTube at the moment, but not from an official source.

My guess is that it didn't meet the standards for heaven and even Earth found it too awful for comfort so now it can only be found in hell where it is played for eternity as the soundtrack! hehe

There are several Yes albums missings from the post Big Generator era, at least over here (Argentina). 
I shook my head and smiled a whisper knowing all about the place

It was removed for lack of interest?

We should start a campaign to have Heaven & Earth re-enlisted on Spotify, although I have a strong feeling I'll be the only one campaigning for its return. Tongue

Yep.

Even Steve Howe doesn't like it, he says in the latest Prog that he thinks the sleeve is better than the album.

I don't always agree with Steve, but I will regarding this topic!!  LOL

This is a photo my friend took of Howe, playing his Les Paul Jr. during "Ritual" (Solo Albums tour).  I sure miss those days!!

The problem I have is that the band just seem like a shell of their former selves now. Most of the key members have moved on or passed away, we've got one of the singers from Glass Hammer on vocals now, and the whole thing doesn't feel like Yes anymore. It vaguely sounds like Yes, sure, but something crucial is just missing from the equation. If anything, they sound more like a 1990's/2000's prog revival band now, and to be frank, I absolutely hate most of those bands. Glass Hammer, Simon Says, etc. I just never hear any uniqueness in those kinds of groups. 

Yeah, I know this post is really negative; Heaven & Earth just kinda brings that out in me whenever I talk about it. I'm not saying any of this to be a condescending a****le, it's just genuinely how I feel about the current Yes enterprise.

^ Glass Hammer are class , nothing like the meek watered down thing now masquerading as Yes.
