I thought this one would be straightforward. Nope.
The LP version on Greatest Hits runs the right length, but sounds a little dull. The LP version on Classics Vol. 11 has a much better EQ but runs 24 seconds shorter than the true LP version.
The 45 version on Warner Special Products/Silver Eagle's 2-CD Dancin' The Night Away (1988) has a dull EQ.
The 45 version on Priority's Mega-Hits Dance Classics Vol. 5 (1989) uses the same analog transfer as Dancin', with an infinitely better EQ (yay!) but is a little loud and clips a bit (aww...)
The 45 version on Rhino's Billboard Top Dance Hits 1980 (1992) is a little loud/compressed, but sounds pretty good.
The 45 version on Rhino's Radio Daze Vol. 2 (1995) seems to be from vinyl! (Requesting confirmation here; I'd heard that "Sweetheart" was the only track taken from vinyl on Radio Daze.)
The 45 version on EMI UK's 2-CD Now The Millennium Series 1980 (1999) runs a little short.
I believe that Connoisseur Collection UK's 5-CD box 100 Dance Hits Of The '80s (1990) has the 12" version. It has some neat ping-pong effects during the verses.

"Stomp" and the album it came from, was recorded with
engineer Bruce Swedien's exclusive Accusonic Recording
Process, as was all Quincy Jones productions starting in
1978. This means that he used two 24-track machines
synched together. One recorded the primary mics on
instruments and vocals, and the other recorded just the
ambiance, with mics places in strategic places. All
sounds were combined on mixdown to create a realistic
sonic ambiance.
