I included the Vinyl/CD reference only because they were NOT region coded media formats...

As mentioned by others Music is not as sensitive, but the issue is that they came out a long time ago and there is nothing in music that is newer. RC did not exist then and it was not an issue as it is today where it is easy to order a movie that came out in the UK, you could not order an LP or a CD that came out in the UK back when those formats came out. And as ryoohki pointed out newer music media do have regionalization up to a point.
