Compilation and Artwork
The Very Best of the Eagles is composed of seventeen songs, fifteen of which were released as singles and two songs—"Desperado" and "Doolin-Dalton"—that were album tracks from Desperado. The track listing for the original release was compiled in near chronological order, except the song "I Can't Tell You Why" which was from 1979's The Long Run but was ordered by the songs from the 1975 release One of These Nights. The 2001 reissue's track listing is more loosely compiled.
Both issues of the album feature desert-themed photography. The first release featured art direction and design by Gabrielle Raumberger. The reissue had its art direction handled by Jeri Heiden with design by Barrie Goshko, who also did photo manipulation for the release.
