Year of tracks first release irrespective of later versions

I’ve looked but not seen any way to easily do this, beyond asking Google per track, is there an easy way yet, I did try ChatGPT, what a waste of time that was.

See e.g. this thread:

Release year of a song

Hi, When it comes to my music collection I was always fully "artist & title" oriented guy, while not giving any notion to albums. I never cared nor collected albums, actually I probably don't have a single complete album. If there's a single song on the album I don't like, I just remove it. That being said, I used MP3Tag to strip away all (for me) the trash from my FLAC audio files, living only Artist, Album, Year & Genre, and it worked wonderfully! During all these years I've been collecting…

or this one:

VA - get year!

Hi! I have this large collection of mp3s which actually is a mix of songs I collected along the years. The files are tagged with ARTIST and TITLE only. Is it possible for mp3tag to find those songs' YEAR on discogs/amazon/last fm? Please note the files are a MIX (various artists), not an album. I just would like them to have the songs' year. Thank you!
