The art and tooling for Lp production far exceeds that for CD. The price for CDs went to ~$15 at startup. A straight in your face rip-off. A real big question is why Beatles and Stones CDs go for $18 a pop now. Wanton greed. Easy a pie run them off the mill production just reaping in the bucks. I can see why Mr Jackson needs that income. But why Mick and the boys? Nasty.
