Same. This is especially problematic for some older vinyl releases, because their phonographic copyright dates feature both the year and month, not just the year, so this results in differing dates between, say, singles and albums by the same artist. This doesn’t even touch on the transfer of ownership of said copyrights, e.g. when record companies merge with one another or in the case you cited where a third party licenses the recordings and reissues them (often remastering them beforehand; there’s a separate thread for that).
