What the question says.

A clarification though: I am talking about the original date of recording and/or release of the music, not the date of composition. If you own a recording of a Beethoven symphony, the date in question is the date on which that particular orchestra's recording was released.

For re-releases, count the date of the first release. For example I own Sgt Pepper on CD, released 1987, but 1967 is the original release date.

The Beach Boys' SMiLE was recorded, mostly, in 1967, so that's the relevant date, even though those actual recordings were not released to the public until about 2010.

All clear? Go.
