Baby Workout
Jackie Wilson
1963
Annual listening-list association, not an original-release-date field. Original release year reconciled with reviewed recording-specific Artist Essentials evidence in v3.6.
Release: 1963
Release: 1963Source checked
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 original Brunswick studio single and BL-54110 album belong to 1963. The isolated 1962 heading on the current label catalog is inconsistent with the licensed original program and independent original-catalog issue review, and is not adopted. The album day is not assigned to the single.
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 1963.html. Not independently established; neighboring dates can reflect album/single or regional differences.
Baby Workout - original Brunswick studio program
The licensed original program identifies the selected 1963 Jackie Wilson studio recordings. The original year is checked against the label catalog; inherited January or first-of-month days, remasters, concert versions and appended bonuses are not adopted as exact first-release events.
Brunswick original album discography - scoped independent cross-check
The authored original-catalog discography identifies Jackie Sings the Blues as a 1960 release, Baby Workout BL-54110 as 1963, Whispers as 1966 and Beautiful Day as 1973. These original issue descriptions cross-check specific inconsistent label/distributor fields. The bracketed release years are distinguished from the separate chart annotations.
Brunswick original singles chronology - boundary review
The label identifies the original Brunswick singles and their chart chronology. Used to check that original singles precede later albums and annual appearances, including Lonely Teardrops, Talk That Talk and Baby Workout. The chart debut days are never treated as release days, and do not by themselves resolve a year-end first-release question.
