You Don't Bring Me Flowers
Barbra Streisand & Neil Diamond
1978
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: 1978
Release: 1978Source 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 duet was released in 1978. The 1977 Neil Diamond solo version, Streisand's solo version and later live performances are not the selected recording.
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.
