These are listening-list appearances, separate from the first-release date.

The selected original release program, full performer credit and actual retained original-era recording candidate were reviewed together. This preserves that retained recording identity; no later live, remake or guest-remix presentation is substituted. This is a bounded release/credit review, not audio fingerprinting.
