Another line of inquiry I thought of that might help date them:

What preceded the Fame issue, and What followed it.

If there is a possibility that the same title, or it's equivalent was issued by EMI between the original release, and the Fame issue, then it would make sense that EMI wouldn't have, say two reissues of that album going at the same time, competing with one another... I think of greatest hits or singles albums here, like Eddie Cochran, Fats Domino ((T.Rex?) - who have two comps on Fame at either end of the apparent date range, so one issue of their work on Fame replaces an earlier one!)) etc.

And of course, if that album, or equivalent was re-issued/ replaced by another EMI issue/re-issue of that work on a different label.

(Pink Floyd's first two were originally on Columbia, which is why they were pressed on Fame, whereas all that followed was re-iisued/ repressed on Harvest (Black Labels) until very late eighties/ early nineties, after Harvest was no more, and then EMI put them out under their own name, and A Collection of Great Dance Songs (Originally Harvest) doesn't appear till later on Fame once Harvest has expired, and Floyd issue new releases under EMI).
