With a CD the music is stored in the format of burnt section, not burnt section, burnt section etc. The laser picks this up and will encode it as a series of 0's and 1's. This then decoded and reprodcued as audio (Music). A LP player uses a stylus instead of a laser which tracks a modulated groove in the record and reproduces. You can see that they are similar however different. I have never heard of using a laser on an LP however if the conditions inside were correct and there was still a modulated groove, I don't see why not. It would have to be this reason that it would be expensive. I gas bagged on a bit, but I hope this helped. It would still be a lot of money.
