Does anyone have any idea when the CD of this album was released? (obviously not 1982 as CDs hadn't been invented!)

Actually...CD technology was around at the time...just not widespread. I believe that a Billy Joel CD was floating around Japan in a limited fashion in 82 or 83.

Cheap!! Hey what's with this? "Release Date: May 06, 1997 " as listed in the above link.

Typo? :shrug:

I think it was reissued around that time. It used to be a rare CD5 when the first pressings sold out. Demand brought it back...

reissued in 97? Should be some new copies floating around in some shops then? Why don't they just rerelease it, I think we should start a petition for it! :evil4:
