Vinyl to CD

CD. Are there any companies that will do this. Of course if they
are already on CD that would be great: Phantom of the Paradise or
Renaissance Live at Carniege Hall.

The setup costs for manufacturing CDs are high. So unless you plan to
make hundreds of copies, the cost per CD can be *pretty high*! If you'd
like to preserve these recordings, you are better off copying them to
DAT or MiniDisc.

Well, yes and no. Setup costs for real "silver" CDs are fairly high.
Setup costs for "gold" write-once CDs are a good deal lower, as these
are made individually rather than via a pressing/stamping process.
Write-once gold discs are used for Photo-CD among other things, and are
often used for pre-mastering CD-ROMs. The blanks currently cost about
$40 each. The equipment to burn them costs several thousand dollars.
If you have a DAT dub of a vinyl album, you may be able to have it
burned to a write-once disc for somewhere in the $100-$200 range (at a
guess) including studio and blank-disc costs. Check the back pages of
one of the magazines which caters to musicians - there are probably
quite a few studios which will make these one-off CDs.

The DePalma movie? The LaserDisc has Digital sound, so that's pretty
close. I was going to make a tape to carry with me, but I haven't seen the
soundtrack on CD either (kind of looking).
