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 official artist history and label release account establish the January 1977 public single. The 1976 recording session and conflicting licensed album header are not treated as public release evidence. Only 1977 is assigned.

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 1977.html. Not independently established; neighboring dates can reflect album/single or regional differences.

Lucille - recording-specific original release field
The original recording-specific field identifies January 1977, agreeing with the official album history and label single history. The later anthology is not the original release.

Lucille - recording session and subsequent release history
The Universal publication distinguishes the August 1976 recording session from the January 1977 public single release and the 1977 self-titled album. The incorrect 1976 licensed album header is not treated as an earlier public release.

Kenny Rogers - official career and recording history
The official history explicitly places the self-titled second album and Lucille in 1977, identifies Love the World Away with Urban Cowboy, and confirms the named duet partners. Broad sales and chart claims are outside the scope of these selections.
