Although risk/profit/loss certainly has something to do with it, I don't see that as the full picture as the independent labels seem to be faster at releasing vinyl than the major labels are. Case in point is the "4 men with beards" record label, which releases various artists on vinyl that were previously released on another label in a non-vinyl format.
High quality vinyl
What are the considerations for vinyl manufacturers when deciding which title to make? Be it cd or vinyl? Why are some only pressed on cd vs. vinyl?
