Original Year of an album

Hi,
A useful feature for us anal/ocd music librarians would be an option to tag songs with the original release year of an album.
Popular CD's are often rereleased over a period of years. If I create a smart playlist of all songs from the late 70's I'm going to miss those tracks which belong to an album rereleased in the 90's.
... and for compilation albums, it would be sensible to tag the release date of each indivual song.
Surely there is a song database in the ever expanding ether containing this data?
I've searched the web and forums for this, but seems this is still a very manual task... seems most people are using allmusic.com as a reference.
