One thing I hate in GHs is that some songs are cut off, shortened, etc. Like Queen's Under Pressure or Pat Benatar's We Belong (I bought the Best Shots CD).

Those were monster albums. The Eagles Long Run was not as daring as Tusk but it did have a more modern sound. But unlike Fleetwood Mac, their follow up from the Epic Hotel California also went to #1 and stayed their longer than Hotel California but they sold approximately the same which was a huge success. I was surprised to recently learn that In The City was never a single released from The Long Run. It became its own rock radio hit in the same way The Chain or Gold Dust Woman became a hit off Rumours without being released as a single.
We got The Eagles Greatest hits volume 1 from Columbia House record club in the 1970s. It was one of the 7 albums our family could pick for 1 cent.
Speaking of editing the songs. Correct me if I am wrong but when Tusk was released on CD they edited Sara. When it was placed on Greatest Hits the full song made the CD. I can remember Stevie discussing this on Rockline promoting the Greatest Hits. So Greatest Hits had the first CD full version of Sara.
