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: 1966
Release: 1966Source 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 original Tom Jones studio single was released in 1966. The scoped original-recording and single evidence supplies the year; later album, anthology, concert and remix dates are separate. No album day is assigned to an earlier single. The 1967 album and retained annual appearance follow this original 1966 release.
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.

Tom Jones - licensed original hit-recording metadata
The licensed anthology identifies the original solo recordings and individual release years: the three selected 1965 titles, Green Green Grass of Home in 1966, I'll Never Fall in Love Again in 1967, Delilah in 1968, Love Me Tonight and Without Love in 1969, Daughter of Darkness and I (Who Have Nothing) in 1970, and She's a Lady in 1971. Its 2000 package date and January placeholders are not first-release events. Original individual years are checked against the album and single sources where they differ.
Green Green Grass of Home - original Jones release history
The label's history places Tom Jones's released version in 1966, before the 1967 album and retained annual appearance. Earlier recordings by other named performers remain separate identities. Chart dates are not assigned as exact first-release dates.
