if the jacket has a mistake on it  do we use jacket notes or actual information?

i'm looking at DVD Neil Simon's Odd Couple today the theatrical movie from May 1968  ( I saw it that summer ).,, but the Paramount jacket states 1967 on the back., I then checked wiiki and IMDB and all  say release date may 1968 ..

we have about half dozen releases in data all say 1968  except for one (1967)  then I checked the jackets all state 1967 ....

I hate to use information I know is wrong ..  what do our rules actually state?  what would happen if the date was stamped 1067  by mistake ..?
In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird. Now the World is weird and People take Prozac to make it Normal.

Released or as DVDprofile says produced May 1968 not copyright year of 1967

Nowhere do the rules state that we have to take the production year from the back cover. Instead, the rules say: "Enter the year of the original theatrical release." If that was 1968, then that's what we enter.

Keep in mind that the person who designs the cover doesn't know how DVD Profiler defines the term "Production Year".
