RELEASE DATE & LIST YEAR

Release: 1960

Release: 1960Source 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. Year precision reflects the reviewed original release program. Reissues, remasters, later single campaigns and annual-list placement do not reset the original recording 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.

Owner-supplied release annotations
Reported dates in 1960.html. Not independently established; neighboring dates can reflect album/single or regional differences.

It's Everly Time - licensed recording program
The licensed It's Everly Time program identifies its original tracks and the album or anthology year 1960. Selected original recording years are reviewed individually; anthology, remaster, inherited album and conflicting track dates are not treated as interchangeable. Only the specified original performances are selected.
