Even though 1983 was the original release date for the album, we don't know
if it was released on CD.
Aslo, your CD might be a simple repress. We would need the original release
to find out whether we have a mere repress or a new release. If only the
matrix differs, I don't think it warrants a new entry in the database.

In the end I'd simply remove the release date and keep it that way as we
don't have enough information.
