Looks like LP versions, except for Dirty Laundry which is probably 45 version that's been on CD. Laundry runs 5:36.
Maybe the single version of All She Wants To Do Is Dance is on the audio track of the video.
Sound is great, I've heard the tracks.
THE VERY BEST OF DON HENLEY
FEATURES HENLEY'S BEST-LOVED SOLO SONGS
CD+DVD Version Adds Music Videos And
Soundtrack Recordings
"Dirty Laundry," "The Boys Of Summer," and "The End Of The Innocence" are some of the most popular, powerful, and critically acclaimed songs of our time. Now those songs and more, digitally re-mastered from the original recordings, are being made available on The Very Best Of Don Henley - the first career-to-date collection spanning Don Henley's tenures on Asylum, Geffen, and Warner Bros. The Very Best Of Don Henley, is being offered in CD and deluxe CD+DVD versions. The 14-track CD is being released on June 16th and the 24-track CD/DVD is being released on June 23rd through Geffen/UMe.
The Very Best Of Don Henley DVD features six iconic music videos including "The Boys Of Summer," "All She Wants To Do Is Dance," "The Heart Of The Matter," "The Last Worthless Evening," "Everything is Different Now" and "For My Wedding" as well as four bonus audio recordings from soundtrack releases: "Love Rules" (Fast Times At Ridgemont High), "Who Owns This Place? " (The Color Of Money), "Sit Down, You're Rockin' The Boat" (Leap Of Faith) and "Through Your Hands" (Michael).
The 14-selection The Very Best Of Don Henley CD kicks off with "Dirty Laundry" from his solo 1982 debut album, the gold I Can't Stand Still. Henley followed with 1984's triple platinum Building The Perfect Beast with "The Boys Of Summer" (GRAMMY-winner for Best Rock Vocal), the Top 10 hit "All She Wants To Do Is Dance" as well as "Sunset Grill" and "Not Enough Love In The World."
Culled from 1989's six times platinum The End Of The Innocence (the 1989 album that remained on the Billboard Top 200 chart for 148 weeks), are the title track - another Grammy Rock Vocal winner - and the hit singles "The Last Worthless Evening," "The Heart Of The Matter," "I Will Not Go Quietly" and "New York Minute."
From his first solo collection, 1995's platinum Actual Miles: Henley's Greatest Hits, The Very Best Of Don Henley features Henley's cover of Leonard Cohen's classic "Everybody Knows." Y2K's platinum Inside Job, his first solo album since 1989, was an intensely personal rumination on love and romance and included the #1 Adult Contemporary hit "Taking You Home," "Everything Is Different Now" and "For My Wedding," the first Don Henley single to land on the Country music charts.

On paper this Don Henley compilation looks like a winner, Bill! I just hope the audio levels aren't squashed from maximization and overcompression like so many modern CD releases. (And releasing this CD in a standard jewel case rather than cheap cardboard "eco-friendly" packaging would be very much appreciated as well.)

I would like to have seen "Johnny Can't Read" on this collection, one of my fave DH solo tunes.

In my experience with 1980s music videos, even DVD sources tend to sound hissy. Also, the audio tracks on DVDs are highly compressed, just like the video is. DVDs use mpeg-layer 2 (mp2) for the audio. I believe the bit rate is pretty decent, but it's compressed nonetheless.
The best source I've found for the single version of "All She Wants To Do Is Dance" is the promo 12".

I got a copy of the advance, sound quality is nice on all tracks. Seems to have stronger bottom end and more dynamic range than Absolute Miles. All long versions but I think Dirty Laundry is the single version.
