Linda Ronstadt
1979
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: 1978
Release: 1978Source 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. 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 earlier supplied year 1979 is retained in the attribute-change audit.
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 1979.html. Not independently established; neighboring dates can reflect album/single or regional differences.
Living in the USA - licensed original program
The licensed album page and embedded album/track metadata identify the original 1978 Living in the USA program and selected recordings. The artist's official release index independently agrees on the album year. Track upload metadata was inspected for conflicts and is not treated by itself as an original-release certificate; only supported year precision is used.
Linda Ronstadt - official release chronology
The official release index explicitly gives Silk Purse 1970, Don't Cry Now 1973, Heart Like a Wheel 1974, Prisoner in Disguise 1975, Hasten Down the Wind 1976, Simple Dreams 1977, Living in the USA 1978, Mad Love 1980, Get Closer 1982, What's New 1983, Canciones de Mi Padre 1987 and Cry Like a Rainstorm, Howl Like the Wind 1989, and links the licensed programs. It does not by itself establish earlier single dates.
