RELEASE DATE & LIST YEAR

Release: 1961

Release: 1961Source 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 licensed original recording metadata and original Warner WB33 chart chronology agree on 1961; no exact first-release day is claimed.

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 1961.html. Not independently established; neighboring dates can reflect album/single or regional differences.

Walk Right Back: The Everly Brothers on Warner Bros. 1960-1969 - licensed recording program
The licensed Walk Right Back: The Everly Brothers on Warner Bros. 1960-1969 program identifies its original tracks and the album or anthology year 1993. 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.

Walk Right Back / Ebony Eyes - original labeled single chronology
The primary UK chart archive identifies the original Warner Brothers WB33 single in February 1961. Paired with the licensed original recording metadata for Walk Right Back, this supports 1961 at year precision. The chart-entry day is not asserted as a worldwide release day; conflicting Ebony Eyes track metadata remains deferred.
