What you fail to realize here is that even though they don't need to
record twice, it DOES cost a lot of extra money to produce those LPs. The
problem is that there simply aren't very many people who have turntables
anymore, so the record company would actually lose money by producing a
bunch of LPs that very few people would buy. In order to get past the
overhead of producing them they would need to sell a certain amount, and
that just wouldn't happen. So none of them make LPs anymore.
