I don't know exact numbers but it's likely that reissues comprise only a small part of the many new LPs being issued. There are plenty of new recordings on vinyl and many of them cost less than the same music on CD. A quick look at a couple of online LP vendors shows new LPs from Wilco, Bloc Party, My Morning Jacket, Arcade Fire, Rush, Archie Shepp, Bright Eyes, Artic Monkeys, Tori Amos, Elliot Smith, Feist, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Depeche Mode, Mark Knopfler and Emmy Lou Harris, Ween, Interpol, Rickie Lee Jones, Maximo Park, Los Straitjackets, The White Stripes, Amy Winehouse, The Stooges, Bjork, Tom Petty, Neil Young, Willie Nelson, Eric Clapton and JJ Cale, Built To Spill, Modest Mouse, Kings of Leon, and Madeleine Peyroux. You can even get the soundtrack to The 300 on vinyl. That doesn't look like an elitist list to me.
