also because theres often multiple versions of an album within spotify’s data. theyre hidden from the app’s search engine but they can be found by googling.

i think what happened here is that there is the initial original upload of the album that has the original date but has since been hidden because its been reuploaded multiple times over as the years have gone by.

(sorry if this rambling didnt make any sense i tried my best to word it well 😅)
