That is not an excuse to continue the bug into the Digital world 
And I thought there was now a block to stop dates like 1981 for CDs?
This surely is a bug in the uploading code. When there are three dates available, why can the routine not discard the clearly bogus one? Yes it is PEBCAK, but the users mistakenly trust this digital script. they have to actively type in a bad CD date, whereas they are more likely to trust a script as correct.
