"The Visitors" was one of the first records ever to be recorded and mixed digitally, and also one of the earliest in history to be pressed on the CD format in 1982 as, in terms of commercial release dates, it was predated by the Japanese release of Billy Joel's "52nd Street". "The Visitors" has been reissued in digitally remastered form four times—first in 1997, then in 2001, again in 2005 as part of "The Complete Studio Recordings" box set and most recently in 2012.
