RELEASE DATE & LIST YEAR

Release: 1976

Release: 1976Source 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 Eagles recording belongs to the original 1976 release of Hotel California; later editions are separate. The earlier supplied year 1977 is retained in the attribute-change audit.

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.
