You want to make a music CD, so you pop a blank disc into your computer, it grinds a bit, and minutes later the disc pops back out. Easy peasy.

This is why I collect vinyl records. Because I know I am getting what I paid for, and it is a lifetime collectable. Unlike CD's and digital downloads, whose prices are extremely inflated when you think about the effort that goes into making them as opposed to vinyl.
A little bit misleading briefing on this article in my opinion. Of course making the master mold (right term?) is complicated task but as you can see at the end of the video, the manufacturing of vinyl records is really pretty much automatic...
