A variation of this collection entitled The Heart of... Chicago was issued in countries outside North America, with similar artwork but a different track list including four songs originally released on the Columbia record label.

Greatest Hits 1982–1989 – the band's 20th release overall – is also notable for being Chicago's last release before the dismissal of their founding drummer Danny Seraphine in the following year, and the home to a remixed version of the hit, "What Kind of Man Would I Be?" originally released on Chicago 19. The song was released as a single, peaking at number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in February 1990.

Unlike the 2 previous Greatest Hits releases, all of the songs were released in their album lengths, except "What Kind of Man Would I Be?". Some US copies on vinyl, and possibly CD copies as well, list "Along Comes a Woman" but actually contain "Remember the Feeling" (originally the flipside of "Hard Habit to Break").
