The Eagles Greatest Hits - Question

I am surprised to see that the Eagles Greatest Hits which by the way is the biggest selling album / disc of all time has not been released by Mobile Fidelity on SACD. I would like to own a better pressing of this on a CD format so if anybody knows anything, that would be appreciated. Thank you and stay well and safe out there right now.

As implied in the posts above, it's gotta be a money issue.

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.

The original CD pressing sounds very fine.
Happy Listening!

I bought an Eagles collection on CD for my sister-in-law. It was a "gold" disc, and iirc it was on DCC, mastered by Steve Hoffman.
