RELEASE DATE & LIST YEAR

Release: 1972

Release: 1972Source 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 studio single with the Stone Canyon Band was released in 1972 before the same-year album. The 1971 concert described in its history is not this recording's release, and its album day is not assigned to the earlier 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 1972.html. Not independently established; neighboring dates can reflect album/single or regional differences.

Garden Party - original studio album and full band credit
The licensed original 1972 album identifies Ricky Nelson & The Stone Canyon Band as the full album credit. The original studio title recording is selected. The album and individual single dates differ within 1972, so only year precision is used.

Garden Party - original single before album and band identity
The label describes Rick Nelson's country-rock development with the Stone Canyon Band and the 1972 single before the same-year album. The 1971 concert behind the song is not the release of this studio recording. No chart day is asserted as an original release day.

Rick Nelson Legacy - original, alternate and later single versions
The licensed historical program distinguishes original Believe What You Say Single Version from a later Capitol Single Version, separately labels alternate Lonesome Town and later live performances, and preserves the Stone Canyon Band credit. Inherited anthology dates are not original release dates.
