[Partially Lost] Exit (2012) by Juice / Soul’d’Out (Geneva, Switzerland)

Introduction

I'm trying to find any way to listen to this album:

https://open.spotify.com/album/4tLGwv50rtolhzSPhV9o55

It's a 2012 album of cover songs called Exit by a band named Juice from Geneva, Switzerland. (They were still using the name Juice in 2014 but had changed their name to Soul'd'Out by 2016.) Here's the links I have for the band:

I especially enjoyed their cover of "Short Skirt / Long Jacket", which is a gender-flipped cover featuring a woman who wants a man with a "short tie and a long jacket" who is "changing his name from Keith to Kevin". (There's a teaser of this song on Soundcloud.) Here is the full track list:

  1. I Don't Need No Doctor
  2. Billie Jean
  3. Love Is Alive
  4. Moondance
  5. I Feel the Earth Move
  6. Short Skirt Long Jacket
  7. History Repeating
  8. Uncle Remus
  9. Spiderman

The problem

Unfortunately:

  • Soul'd'Out played their last concert on June, 28 2019 and appears to have permanently disbanded.

  • One of the people credited on the Spotify album, the drummer Robin Frey, passed away in 2020. I wasn't able to find any contact information for the other person (Jean Pfyffer, the bass player). The lead singer's name appears to be Anne but I'm not sure about a last name.

  • I couldn't find the album or band on Discogs, and I wasn't able to find any evidence that Exit was released on CD or vinyl, it appears to have been streaming only. I did find this UPC number for a digital download from Easy Street Records in Seattle, WA:

    Details Format: Digital

    Label: Juice

    Rel. Date: 05/10/2012

    UPC: 3610150871145

    https://easystreetonline.com/UPC/3610150871145

    This would have been a breakthrough but unfortunately the seller doesn't have it anymore. I sent them an email but haven't heard back yet.

  • I couldn't find any digital downloads on 7digital or Amazon.

  • I couldn't find any live versions or digital downloads on the Internet Archive.

  • I couldn't find any CDs of the album on Amazon or Ebay. (Mind you, the names are not easy to do a web search for.)

  • It's not available on Spotify in my country, and is apparently not available in any other country.

  • There is another band called "Juice" that appears to be mixed up with the same account on Spotify:

It seems like the album only ever existed on Spotify, and it was streamable back when I listened to it in 2016 or 2017. (This was a bit of a wake up call to me, I had thought that almost anything on Spotify had physical or digital copies available somewhere, especially it it was published over 10 years ago, but this is clearly not the case.)

Other stuff I've tried

I sent an email to souldout@souldout.ch but just got a timeout error (seems the domain is expired), and also messaged the Soul'd'Out Facebook account and Soundcloud account with no response.

I posted about this in r/DHExchange in 2023 but didn't have any luck:

Is there any way I can get a copy of this music?

Edit: fixed link for Spotify country availability
