When CDs were introduced in the mid-1980s, the record companies re-released their old stock in the new format at double the price of the original vinyl.

"Adjusting for inflation, it is about 10 times more than 45-r.p.m. singles cost during their heyday in the 1950's." People know this. Compared to the price of a coffee, a song is still cheap (though I don't know where people pay $US 3.99 for a Starbucks).
