Prostitute Vinyl

Why was the album Prostitute not released on Vinyl. The formats for release is Cassette and CD only[?]
The gap between Prostitute goes right up to Catching Rays, which is available on Vinyl. The Gap includes Prostitute, Salvation, Dreamscapes, Stark Naked An Absolutely Live, Dreamscapes 9, Crazy Show and Crazy Show Excerpts.

Cassettes was for cars or walkmans.

I think Prostitute is also too long for a regular LP. It has to be released as 2LP for the best sound.

Only my guess.

Dire Straits released a double album from Brothers in Arms. The new Radiohead release of OK Computer is a triple lp. TOOL Lateralus released as a double lp. There are many more to mention, Hardin, it's a pity that the Alphaville albums were not released as vinyl. Dreamscapes would have been wonderful as a box set

I agree, but collectors now are looking for vinyl. 21years is a long wait from BB to CYOG. Wishful Thing had a 12" release in 1997, Love Will Find A Way was another one in 2018
