MOFI did "Hotel California" on vinyl. The way it was explained to me, (or the way I understood it), it has nothing to do with the format, (i.e. CD, SACD, 33 1/3RPM or 45RPM).
Each "master" has to be "leased", (maybe not the right term), but the label has complete control over this. Many masters are just so damn expensive, that a lot of the reissue houses couldn't make enough money to justify the upfront costs.
So it kinda boils down to what is available and how much.
