Re: from what music genre are these LP's?

All of them (including Peyroux) work in various genres of popular music. Nobody disputes that there is almost no new classical music on LP any more, but assertions that "new LPs are special interest merchandise (expensive/elitist, almost exclusively re-issues of old material)", while "SACD is more vibrant and general public-oriented format" are just plain wrong. According to the RIAA's 2005 statistics (the last year that they broke out SACD and LP as seperate data elements), unit shipments of SACDs were less than half of LP. Since many small LP - issuing indie labels aren't members of the trade association the RIAA's stats understate the real numbers of LPs shipped.
