RELEASE DATE & LIST YEAR

Release: 1985

Release: 1985Source 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 Vision Quest studio single was released in 1985. The separately documented 1991 UK reissue does not set the 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.

Crazy for You - official original single history
