Only Sixteen
Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show
1976
Annual listening-list association, not an original-release-date field. Original release year reconciled with reviewed recording-specific Artist Essentials evidence in v3.6.
Release: 1975
Release: 1975Source 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 Bankrupt program and independent licensed recording field support the original 1975 recording. The bad inherited 1972 field is rejected; the actual 1976 annual appearance does not redate the original.
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.
Bankrupt - original licensed studio program
The original 1975 Bankrupt program includes The Millionaire and Only Sixteen. Only Sixteen has an inconsistent inherited 1972 track field; the separately reviewed licensed hit item and distributor chronology identify the original 1975 release instead.
Dr. Hook original recording anthology
The licensed retrospective preserves the original 1975 Only Sixteen field and distinguishes a named A Little Bit More single presentation. Some other fields inherit later or inconsistent dates and are not adopted. Original studio selections are cross-checked against their original programs.
Dr. Hook - distributor historical catalog notes
The retrieved distributor notes identify the shortened Dr. Hook name after 1975, original Only Sixteen in 1975 and Cover of Rolling Stone in 1972. Its explicit 1972 debut statement conflicts with the other licensed sources; that discrepancy remains queued. Hit years are not substituted for earlier album releases.
