Annual listening-list association, not an original-release-date field. Original release year reconciled with reviewed recording-specific Artist Essentials evidence in v3.6.
Release: 1960
Release: 1960Source 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 studio recording was released in 1960 and belongs to the original A Woman, a Lover, a Friend program. Year precision does not assign an album day to a single or a later reissue.
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 1960.html. Not independently established; neighboring dates can reflect album/single or regional differences.
A Woman, a Lover, a Friend - original Brunswick studio program
The licensed original program identifies the selected 1960 Jackie Wilson studio recordings. The original year is checked against the label catalog; inherited January or first-of-month days, remasters, concert versions and appended bonuses are not adopted as exact first-release events.
Jackie Wilson - Brunswick original catalog and artist history
The original label identifies the solo artist, original album programs and the separately labeled At the Copa live album and duet projects. Its original album chronology supports the selected studio programs, except the isolated Baby Workout 1962 heading, which conflicts with the licensed 1963 program and the independently documented original catalog issue.
