Research finds that there is a clump containing 2727 titles that also has a curious property in that the dates are in long batches from 2004-06-00 to 2004-10-00 and then 2004-01-00 to 2004-12-00 before cycling back to 2004-09-00 to 2004-12-00. Obviously, whatever did this import also had their data sorted by date. The titles below need to be reviewed to delete the non-genre works.
