Music purchased from ITunes but becomes unavailable on Apple Music at a later date

Yesterday I noticed that Don Henley’s “Dirty Laundry “ from his “I can’t stand still album” has been discontinued from Apple Music. I was wondering if I purchase an album from ITunes and it becomes unavailable from the Apple Music library in the future, will I still have the purchased album available to listen from my ICloud library?

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 16

I previously purchased this in Apple Music and I too noticed that this is now missing. The album is now completely unavailable to me from any location including iCloud. This happened after I received a message stating this was not playable in my region when it had previously worked about a week or so ago. Having a large iTunes library, I am left wondering if any music I purchase from iTunes is susceptible to just being "removed". I'm hoping there is a solution to this as the recommended updates and "syncs" have not corrected the issue.
