the quest is to find the original year and label details for a
specific artist-song/song-artist that was released on a single,
and to do this efficiently
Tip 3.
If the single can't be seen in the auto dropdown list then, rather
than going thru to the next page and hunting thru many found items,
it's may be much more efficient to use Discogs Advanced Search:
1. at https://www.discogs.com/ go to (in menu at top of page)
Explore > Advanced Search
2. change Type from "All" to "Master Releases" (important!)
3. fill in the following fields (can be all in lower-case):
By Artist {eg: the platters}
Track Title {eg: smoke gets in your eyes}
Format: single
Country {us not usa}
then click on Search at bottom right
4. (optional on search results page) change Sort (on right) from
"Relevance" to "Year, Oldest First"
