One of them is for performing artists/DJs that do turntable "scratch" and want to use their own original recordings. Yeah, you can do scratch with those DJ CD players but I'm sure the "purists" will insist that the tactile control is just not the same as vinyl on a turntable. Plus $45 for a one sided 12" is a price that can't be beat. When the disk wears out, just buy another pressing. In the long run, this would still be cheaper than buying a minimum pressing elsewhere of 100 copies.
