No Fuckin Messiah. Is that one of the most popular? Seems like most everyone has that one.

Was just organizing some music and noticed an album from '83 was a reissue in '89 and was like of course, there weren't CDs in '83... right?

The first test pressing was of a recording of Richard Strauss's An Alpine Symphony, recorded December 1–3, 1980 and played by the Berlin Philharmonic and conducted by Herbert von Karajan, who had been enlisted as an ambassador for the format in 1979.
The world presentation took place during the Salzburg Easter Festival on 15 April 1981, at a press conference of Akio Morita and Norio Ohga (Sony), Joop van Tilburg (Philips), and Richard Busch (PolyGram), in the presence of Karajan who praised the new format.
The first public demonstration was on the BBC television programme Tomorrow's World in 1981, when the Bee Gees' album Living Eyes (1981) was played.
The first commercial compact disc was produced on 17 August 1982, a 1979 recording of Chopin waltzes performed by Claudio Arrau.
The first 50 titles were released in Japan on 1 October 1982, the first of which was a re-release of Billy Joel's 1978 album 52nd Street.
The first CD played on BBC Radio was in October 1982.
The Japanese launch was followed on 14 March 1983 by the introduction of CD players and discs to Europe and North America where CBS Records released sixteen titles.
