When using MLA citations for a song, is it incorrect to include the date recorded and the date released?
February 212010
Although possibly unnecessary, is it incorrect to include both the date recorded and the release date if they are the same? For example:
Youth Group. "Forever Young." Rec. 2006. Music From the OC:Mix 5. Warner Bros./WEA Records, 2006
Entire Albums
List by name of group or artist (individual artists are listed last name first). Album title underlined or in italics, followed by label and year.
Foo Fighters. <underline>In Your Honor.</underline> RCA, 2005.
Waits, Tom. <italics>Blue Valentine.</italics> 1978. Elektra/Wea, 1990.
Individual Songs
Place the names of individual songs in quotation marks.
Nirvana. "Smells Like Teen Spirit." Nevermind. Geffen, 1991.
February 21st, 2010 at 8:56 pm
Your example is correct.
