Don't Take the Girl
Tim McGraw
1994
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: 1994
Release: 1994Source 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 original licensed recording is documented in 1994. The selected album program and recording-specific release field were reviewed together; a later annual-list appearance or single promotion does not reset this first release 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.

Not a Moment Too Soon - licensed original program
The licensed 1994 program, visible album date and original track metadata identify the selected recording and its album association. Individual earlier recording dates are considered separately; a later expanded edition is not treated as the first release of older tracks.
Don't Take the Girl - licensed recording item
The actual recording page identifies Tim McGraw and the selected Don't Take the Girl item. Its visible original release header and the parent program were read together; only supported year precision is published.
