Which music album was the first to be released on compact disk in 1982?

Billy Joel’s 52nd Street, featuring classics like “Big Shot” and “My Life,” tends to get listed as the first CD to be released commercially, but that’s not entirely accurate, as it was one of 50 albums released in Japan on October 1, 1982. 52nd Street just happened to be the first listed in the catalog, so it gets the tag as “first CD ever released.”
