Ironic.
Take note, @Wanderer189, due to the way MB defines a “recording,” the above method will only work if the track is considered the “same recording” throughout each release you possess. If you’re trying to tag the same song, but the 1970 compilation version is a shortened edit from the original 1955 track or whatever, Picard will not be able to grab the 1955 date, as the definition considers the two mostly unrelated. I have attempted to make some headway on efficiently resolving this inconsistency in this thread, considering this same topic appears at least once a week here or on other music collection forums, and you’re welcome to voice your support there.
