RELEASE DATE & LIST YEAR

Release: 1986

Release: 1986Source 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. Original Fore! studio recording released in 1986. The later 1987 annual/single association is preserved separately and does not redate the recording. The earlier supplied year 1987 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.
