I wouldn't be nitpicking if this wasn't supposed to be one of my singles for my first week. It's possible that it was released in Europe one year, and America the next or vice versa. Not sure if I should just pull it from my year or not.

My vote goes to 77 regardless, since I prefer those albums just a bit more. |
Definitely 1977, lots of 1977 copies on Discogs (this one, for example).

Totally right, Jonny. US release was Jan '78, but UK release was '77. I'd say fair game for both teams.
On a personal level I'm not sure that RYM is the best source for release info. Citing the Alton Ellis example above, there's no mention of the original Studio One release on RYM, whereas Discogs do with around another 200+ single releases. But hey, from all this a) the '77 line-up is totally legit and b) still the best of the two.

Hey thanks for the heads up, my people. I was thinking to myself when I saw "I'm Still In Love With You" listed as a '77 single (and a kinda highly ranked one) that that sounded so 60s, I was surprised and happy to snatch it for myself. Turns out my ears were right. AN the version I linked and the version I knew and loved is the '67 version. My bad on that. As for "Flash Light" I'm glad its 77, because if I ended up using it as a single and not the whole album and then to add insult to injury the single didn't even çount for shit, I'd be pissed.
The ONLY source I've used is RYM to be honest. I tried Discogs, but although I'm sure its a great and accurate resource, I found it to be a nuisance to use for getting ideas for singles and albums. Maybe I'm just dumb or maybe it also has something to do with all I ever use is my phone and the mobile site sucks, but I found it quite confusing to navigate around or get any useful data from it. I may consider checking on Discogs in the future however.
And you're right, Skinny, that AMAZING TVZ album was recorded in 1973. I was for the longest time reticent to put it on my teams for that reason. I just love it so much, I felt overwhelmingly compelled to go against my internal code of ethics and use it. I have a similar issue using the awesome Miles Davis live album "Dark Magus" at any time because it was also recorded in '73 or '74. So, there's that.
Otherwise, yeah I have to agree with everyone who's said that '67 team is solid. Props to Nick. I am amazed he never whipped out Moby Grape! I thought that is like his fave album ever.
Anyways, that's all.
