RELEASE DATE & LIST YEAR

Release: 1978

Release: 1978Source 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. The original Pleasure & Pain program and separately retrieved licensed original recording support 1978. The conflicting inherited 1977 field and later 1979 annual appearance are not adopted.

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.

Pleasure & Pain - original licensed studio program
The original Pleasure & Pain album is dated 1978 and includes Sharing the Night Together and When You're in Love with a Beautiful Woman. Their inherited 1977 track fields conflict with the independently reviewed licensed original-album items. The supported original 1978 year is used, before the later annual appearances.

When You Are in Love with a Beautiful Woman - licensed original recording
The retrieved licensed original Pleasure & Pain item dates the approximately three-minute original recording to 1978. This resolves the inconsistent 1977 inherited field on another distributor; the 1979 annual appearance is later.
