"CM did not have the brass to go ahead with the repressing of the vinyl"

I have never understood this argument. It is now several decades since vinyl was superseded by CDs. For a long time these have been very cheap to produce. The biggest cost in making in album is the recording itself. It wouldn't cost a lot to remaster the recordings and reissue them on CD, and albums like Bright Phoebus, the Nic Jones albums and many more would surely sell well enough to more than justify this investment and show a handsome profit - Domino presumably thought so.
