Name That Tune

Does anyone know of a free Web resource for looking up the release dates of albums and singles?

Billboard.com will tell you-- if you pay them. Amazon is of limited use because, particularly with older music, sometimes the only version of an album in print is a remaster, and the original release date is not always listed. Artist fan sites are sometimes inaccurate, or don't note that a song or album was only released overseas.

Any ideas?

Not sure if it is detailed or accurate enough, but check out www.allmusic.com
