I doubt Break-In master's "exact" release dates because he doesn't refer to a consistent and verifiable basis, see my earlier correspondence on 45cat:

It's hard to say, in some cases, the dates come from Reg Bartlette, who KNOWS the release dates of lots of records, I also have an old version of Joel Whitburn's Pop Annual that lists the release date of all the records in the book (NOT just the top 20, like his new books). Having the Delta numbers helps a lot, too. Otherwise, I've had LOTS of various sources and it'd be impossible to say where I got each and every date. I'm not doing JUST Aladdin, though, it's just that that's where I started the other day (after doing Combo). If I have the time, I'll get to LOTS of other labels, too.
Hope this helps.

Thanks, Break-In master, for specifying the release dates of some Aladdin records, all looking very reasonable. Before correcting them like that on the database, however, it would be nice to know where you found them.

Cheers, fixbutte (Cornelius).

With regard to the specific issue which was reviewed in Billboard of Oct 20, 1956, I tend to change to the release date to October 1956. In contrast to stereotom I don't suspect it was released a few weeks before the review because the group's previous single (Luniverse 101) was still in the charts at the end of Sep 1956.
