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 licensed recording explicitly labels the original performance as 1980, and the official artist history identifies its Urban Cowboy soundtrack origin. The later anthology date is not adopted as its first release; only year precision is assigned.

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.
