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 studio recording was released in 1963 and belongs to the original Big Girls Don't Cry and Twelve Others program. Year precision does not assign an album day to a single or a later reissue. The earlier supplied year 1964 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.

Owner-supplied release annotations
Reported dates in 1964.html. Not independently established; neighboring dates can reflect album/single or regional differences.

Big Girls Don't Cry and Twelve Others - original licensed album program
The original 1963 album program identifies the selected group performances and their original album association. Its inherited fields are checked against Rhino original-album chronology; inconsistent earlier or later track placeholders are not adopted. Later re-recordings and cast performances are separate.

The Classic Albums Box - original album chronology and programs
The original label lists the group albums from 1962 through 1992 and reproduces the original programs. The reviewed early programs place Sherry and Big Girls in 1962; Walk Like a Man and Alone in 1963; and Candy Girl, Marlena and Stay in the 1963 Ain't That a Shame program. Its 2014 box issue is not their first release.
