Definitely not released on 3 Apr 1982 as it was submitted. Please, everybody contributing to 45worlds CD Albums, keep in mind: There were no CD issues outside of Japan before the end of 1982!
"On October 1, 1982 ... the compact disc was introduced in Japan by CBS/Sony, with 112 different CD titles and a CD player (Sony's CDP-101). ... By the end of 1982, CBS/Sony and Epic/Sony had issued 122 CD titles". CDs in the USA were not available before mid-1983: "Several months of delays and anticipation dragged by, until in late June, 1983, CBS finally shipped the first CD 'prepacks' to a select 35 accounts. ... Among the individual titles were Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here, Billy Joel's The Stranger, Michael Jackson's Thriller, and Toto's Toto IV. Other titles were jazz and classical. The CD era had begun in the United States." (see Compact Disc History).
We can safely assume that Lynyrd Skynyrd was not one of the first artists to be graced with a CD. Apart from this, I have learned from Martin C. Strong's (printed) Great Rock Discography that this issue (MCLD 19073) was already the second CD issue of Second Helping in the UK, released in Oct 1992 (the first one was DMCL 1746, in Aug 1989).
