RELEASE DATE & LIST YEAR

Release: 1973

Release: 1973Source 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. Original single and Goats Head Soup album cycle in 1973; the distinct 2020 album remix is not selected.

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.
