RELEASE DATE & LIST YEAR

Release: 1967

Release: 1967Source 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 official historical song list establishes the original 1967 release. The later album or compilation association is not used as the recording's first year.

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.

Bee Gees - Timeless announcement with original song years
The historical year labels for the first eighteen listed songs run from Spicks and Specks 1966 to Too Much Heaven 1978. These original years are used, not the 2017 compilation date. The source establishes Massachusetts in 1967, Words in 1968 and all four new Saturday Night Fever songs in 1977.

Bee Gees - official original album index
Original studio, soundtrack, live and compilation albums are separately labeled. In particular Horizontal is 1968, Spirits Having Flown 1979, and One Night Only is a later live album.
