RELEASE DATE & LIST YEAR

Release: 2002

Release: 2002Source checked

V3.6 reconciles the original release year with the reviewed Artist Essentials entry for this exact retained recording ID. Year precision is used; an album-first release is not silently replaced by a later single, reissue or annual-list year. The original recording is documented in the 2002 release history of Songs About Jane. Only year precision is assigned; later singles, charts, remasters and live versions do not establish its first release. The earlier supplied year 2004 is retained in the attribute-change audit.

The large badge identifies this listening list, not a newly issued recording. Later reissues and renewed chart popularity do not replace an original release date. How years are assigned.
