Don't quite understand what you mean by "throwing a wrench"? Surely, if they can charge much more for a product the record companies will be all about it, and given the damage downloading is doing to CD sales I would think they would want to, as Frown says, squeeze as much money out of vinyl buyers as possible. Also, given that those who buy vinyl are usually more concerned with quality and details (certain weight of pressings/gatefold sleeve etc) they are generally more predisposed towards paying more for their music, often in either the belief/assumption that they are getting a more quality product than they would on digital media, or to fill gaps in their physical collections.
Again though I ask, what do you think the record companies would be doing to upset this resurgence, and why?
