8892salesupdated 4 months agoYes. I admit it. I probably have a preoccupation regarding release year dates - no not the fruity, chewy kind that some people mistake as prunes and not the oftentimes romantic type of dates either. Historical music release dates, those ones. Second to my taste in music and perhaps specific music styles. Release year dates rank up there quite highly. Not only are they important for accurately and chronologically cataloguing information in the correct sequence but also place a timeline or a reference to a historical musical journey. An evolution. A specific historical context. Well that's my excuse anyway!
Tunes included in this list are for various reasons. Perhaps it's because their corresponding release dates were entered into the database incorrectly in the first place without much thought or provenance or because their release years were taken for granted because maybe the tunes were big around a certain year.
Maybe they were being played long before their official full release date around the club circuit or radio and had become minor hits during that period. Or maybe the release dates on the release media itself is actually incorrect due to a manufacturing / distributing / publishing / administrative error.
Probably inspired by the thread below:

One more thing I need to mention is the dates you're likely to find on Acetate Pressings, Test Pressings, Promos and Press Release / Info sheets. These are very rarely the dates at which that specific pressing was released. It might be the full, commercial release date of the official release, but more than likely, the PROPOSED or PROJECTED date at which that release is PLANNED to be fully released.
Examples of inconsistencies of the release years noted above are welcome.
