Not to be argumentive,but Monday the 13th could've been the release date.

Monday was the release date for new albums.It was changed to Tuesday because too many retailers were putting albums out early to capitalize on heavier weekend traffic. Pushing back the new release date to Tuesday took away this incentive.

I believe this change of date happened when I was running record stores. I began selling music in 1981.
