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 original recording was publicly available in 1967. Only year precision is used; later chart appearances, remakes and reissue packages do not date this recording.
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.

Reported dates in 1967.html. Not independently established; neighboring dates can reflect album/single or regional differences.
Just for You - artist/Capitol original album archive
Original 1967 Bang program identifies the selected early recordings, including Shilo and the original I'm a Believer. The separately re-recorded Shilo on the expanded Velvet Gloves program and the later September Morn remake of I'm a Believer are excluded. The official abbreviated You Got Me title is corroborated by the track-specific label metadata.
Columbia/Legacy - original singles, studio recordings and Neil Diamond recollections
Label release chronology distinguishes earlier singles, original albums and the 1978 Streisand duet. It also reproduces Diamond's account of Hell Yeah. The 2011 compilation date and internally inconsistent recording-month details are not first-release evidence.
