It's a time zone thing. The date is stored as a timestamp. It looks like "1975-01-02 00:00:00+00:00". The offset indicates it is UTC. The timestamp is converted to local time when the jacket is created. So, depending on what time zone you are in, and what is in the time part of the timestamp, the timestamp could represent a day earlier and hence the previous month and year.
