Is your feature already implemented in the latest master?
No.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...]
Spotify search is unfortunately as fuzzy as it can get. Therefore a search using a query such as label:Music-Man yields a whole bunch of unrelated results. It for instance matches everything with label:Music-Manager, yeah, not so good.

Luckily if you wrap the api with a script, you can filter search results based on an albums label. This is done by obtaining the so called full album, via get request to the albums endpoint, i.e. https://api.spotify.com/v1/albums/<album-id>.

I'd like to simplify my script using spotify-player, but it seems there is currently no way to obtain a full album, or at least label metadata, using it.

Describe the solution you'd like
Neither spotify_player get item album --id <id> nor spotify_player search 'label:<label>' contain this field. I wouldn't expect the search subcommand to, but it would be nice if the get subcommand did get the full album info, or for instance optionally provide it given some flag, like --full.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Scripting it myself.
