NO ONE LISTENS TO RECORDS ANYMORE". A sound argument, if you pardon the pun. Yes, this classic has been out on the CD for years. I won't even talk about the songs. By now, this album has been talked about and played on the radio for so long with its legendary tracks like the title track, "The Logical Song", "Goodbye Stranger", etc., you wonder if anything new needs to be said...Then the reissue on vinyl came out.
