Are there any famous artists...

1)....whose main work was done in the era of 78s, and said work has never been released on LP?

2)....whose main work was done on LP, and said work has never been issued on CD?

3)....whose main work has been issued on CD ONLY?

Probably NOT, but I'm curious!

 

I guess it could depend on how famous, and when? If a person was a sort of one hit wonder during the 78 era, and immediately fell out of sight, I suppose it could happen. 3) could be a lot easier, just because that may be all a new act will be issued on. I still don't know of one, right off the bat, however. Are there Britney Spears LP's?

 

Vernon Dalhart, perhaps? There are probably dozens of artists who were popular in the pre-Depression era who were completely forgotten by the time long-playing records were introduced in 1948.

Andy Kim, perhaps? Very little of his back catalog has appeared on CD.

I was going to say Carrie Underwood, but her first post-Idol single, "Inside Your Heaven," was issued on 7-inch vinyl.

Oh, I know; Rascal Flatts has never had a vinyl release in any format. (Their earlier material probably exists on cassette, however.)

The same is true of SheDAISY, I believe.

The only vinyl issue of Trans-Siberian Orchestra, I think, is a promo 12-inch single of "Christmas Eve Sarajevo 12-24."

 

No, but there are Britney Spears 45s and 12-inch singles.
