RELEASE DATE & LIST YEAR

Release: 1959

Release: 1959Source 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 reviewed original recording and single evidence support 1959. Later album, chart, anthology and re-recording dates are kept separate; year precision does not claim an exact worldwide day.

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.

Brenda Lee - label review of original recordings
The label article identifies the named original recording years, including Sweet Nothins 1959, Emotions 1960, All Alone Am I 1962, Is It True 1964 and Nobody Wins 1973. Used for original recording chronology alongside the licensed programs; its editorial ranking and descriptions are not reproduced.

Brenda Lee - licensed original single versions
The licensed historical program labels the original single presentations, explicitly calls Dynamite the 1957 Single Version and preserves the original 1963 As Usual field. Compilation-year placeholders do not date the older recordings.

Brenda Lee - museum career and original release context
The museum describes her childhood radio and television work, 1956 Decca signing, work with Owen Bradley and movement between rock, pop and country. It explicitly places the release of Sweet Nothins in 1959. Chart years and session dates elsewhere in the biography are not automatically treated as first-release dates.
