[Matski]

This may sound weird coming from someone who highly enjoys this record but should 'Light Up Gold by Parquet Courts really be accounted for in the ranking? It was originally released in August 2012.

[Otisredding]

Light Up Gold by Parquet Courts...It was originally released in August 2012.

Allmusic guide says:

RELEASE DATE: January 15, 2013


Anydecentmusic says:

UK Release date 15/04/2013
US Release date 15/01/2013


Apparently, this is an album of 2013.

[Matski]

Yeah, the 'What's Your Rupture?' label re-release arrived on those dates. The original date was 18th August 2012, through their own label, as noted on their website here.

Don't worry, Harold filled me in as to why the album included needs to be included here.
