So here is the weird thing -
Vinyl used to be the medium of choice, since we had litlte alternative, cassettes or defunct 8-track. That was before CDs.
When Cds came out they were more expensive than vinyl, which back in the 70s/80s, were often sold at Nice price of £2.99. A new LP at RRP in those days was maybe £5.59 or £6.49.
Now that we have a vinyl revival, things have gone crazy - especially for limited edition stuff. But even a new LP is in the £20s region. A CD is usually around £10, and then comes down in price.
But special LPs, eg Pink Floyd blue vinyl Division Bell sesl at £80 or more, since it is out of print, whereas the live PULSE box set is several hundred £s, whereas the Cd is around £15.
Totally nuts!
