Vinyl records cost less to make than the packaging they come in. CD's cost
between $3 and $6 to make. The process of making a CD is infinitely more
complicated than that of making a record. Once a pressing mold has been made
for a record, you just stamp out as many copies as you want. For the price of a
platter of vinyl.
