Yeah, so I can just go down and take my pick right? Any new CD, any old CD still in distribution, I can go get a brand new vinyl version? I don't think so.
Vinyl is dead in in the eyes of the vast music buying public. From what I understand CD's are going the same route when it comes to sales from retail stores. What will save the CD format for a while is that is that people need a recordable, portable medium to store digital music on.
