Got My Mind Set on You
George Harrison
1988
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: 1987
Release: 1987Source checked | Recent carryover
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 selected original solo studio recording was issued in 1987, including its original single cycle. The associated album supplies the supported year, not an assumed first worldwide single day; its later reissue and alternate recordings are distinct.
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 1988.html. Not independently established; neighboring dates can reflect album/single or regional differences.
Cloud Nine - George Harrison original release archive
The official archive explicitly identifies the original 1987 release and its numbered studio program. Separately listed demos, later remaster bonuses, live performances and rerecorded versions are not assigned the original album date. The supported year is used without claiming the album day as the first day of an earlier single. The regular Got My Mind Set on You track is separate from the listed extended version; the two video versions are not assumed to be different audio recordings.
