First Appearance of Earth-One Joker?

Question

Hey can anyone help me out with what is the First Appearance of the Silver Age / Earth-One Joker?

This says its "Batman #85 (contended)": http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Joker_(Earth-One)

I've also heard it could also just be the same as the Golden Age/ Earth-Two Jokers First Appearance: Batman #1.

I know how hard it is to tell when the golden age ends and the silver age begins for each character.

So hey what do you all think it could be? One of the two I mentioned? Or Something else? Please Any Help!
