Many Amazon prices are set by algorithms that try anticipate the highest price someone would pay. The LP would be that price because of things like a lot of searches and perhaps just one for sale (for example). The seller essentially ticks a box that is "get best price" rather than specifying a price directly. Amazon's algorithms and data analysis then gets to work.

The obvious answer is that vinyl sounds that much better than CD or MP3 .
It must have been a very limited LP release. These are sometimes as low as 500 copies. Current price on Discogs for said LP is $321-$556. Said CD on that same site starts at $0.35.
