The issue I am trying to figure out is how to have Picard pull that information when a release is loaded so the individual songs have that applied to the tag instead of the release date of the album. Also, I am referring to when a compilation release is being used. I used the script @outsidecontext suggested here [Original Release Date - #4 by outsidecontext](https://community.metabrainz.org/t/original-release-date/136051/4) and that did the trick for regular albums, but I’m trying to figure out a way for compilations like this one [https://musicbrainz.org/release/c856080d-8e2e-4a1a-a524-cca1e79c2b79](https://musicbrainz.org/release/c856080d-8e2e-4a1a-a524-cca1e79c2b79)
