The Hottest Night of the Year - original licensed Anne Murray program
The licensed original program identifies the selected Anne Murray solo studio recordings in 1982. Later duet remakes, National Arts Centre concert tracks, digital remaster dates and later single years are outside this original recording scope. | Reviewed 2026-10-18
Annual version match under review
The selected recording has release evidence, but its version has not been matched to the retained annual entry. It is omitted from Beyond the yearly lists until this match is resolved.
The original studio program identifies the recording in 1982, while the actual retained annual row is labeled 1979. That inherited annotation is not adopted, and the row does not establish an earlier public recording. The actual candidate remains provisional and is excluded from Beyond.
