Hello,

Not sure what recently happened with an update but I have several artists with mulitple live albums sorted by Originally Available Date and recently they somehow changed their date on their own. When I revert them back to how they should be, it automatically has a date of 12/31/1969 and I cannot change it.

#### 1.26.0.5715

Feedback → I downloaded the Beta update and it seems to have fixed some of the albums however there are still lingering issues with this.
