A comment regarding the Thin Lizzy compilation, by UMC, which seems to be in the same vein as this Quo compilation is "A fantastic sounding set containing all the best Lizzy tracks. The mastering here is really good! Let down only by the poor packaging that will result in scratched discs, even straight out of the wrap. But at around £5 for three CDs it's hard to complain." Focusing on "The mastering here is really good", here's hoping! But I'd find it weird if they wouldn't simply literally compile songs from other releases and just level match them, just like they did with the 2016 Whatever You Want compilation.

I'm surprised by some tracks! Like "10. Sherri Don't Fail Me Now! (Edit)" and "9. Restless (Orchestral Version)". If the former is the Single Edit, it wasn't even on the deluxe edition. What's track 16 on the third cd, entitled "Medley"? Roadhouse Medley (Anniversary Waltz Part 25) is listed on both cd 2 and 3.
It says the release date is 28 Aug. 2020. There are reviews going back to 2014, mentioning Ain't Complaining appears twice; possibly referring to the 2000-ish Essential compilation.

"And I Do", "Beautiful", "Dead In The Water"... did someone just throw darts in a list of available tracks?

Roadhouse Medley (The Anniversary Waltz Part 25) - 7" and 12" Mixes, and the Medley is the Greatest Hits Medley or most commonly known as the (Brit Awards) Medley. And yes, the older reviews will be referring to the original Essentials release by Spectrum. Roll Over Lay Down, Gerdundula and Junior's Wailing are the QUO13 / LIVE EP versions, Stoke-On-Trent 2nd March 1975 in concert audio and Kursaal Southend 1st March 1975 Soundcheck Recording (Gerdundula).

Nice! Do you know if (or which of) Dreamin', Ain't Complaining, Going Down Town Tonight, LOAI, etc. are the single versions?

All single / B-Side mixes Fantastic! I guess this is the first CD compilation having the single version of Going Downtown Tonight.

"And I Do", "Beautiful", "Dead In The Water"... did someone just throw darts in a list of available tracks? Well at least it's not the same old tracks we always see in a compilation! The order surprises me though, I guess I'm just used to the trackless always being in chronological/release order.

Maybe Rhino, Jeff, Andy and Pete should sue for lack of image rights. And maybe Alan and John should sue for being scurrilously associated with Beautiful

So, is this a mish mash of single mixed from "Pictures: 40 Years Of Hits" with a few B-sides grabbed from the deluxes and the volumes tweaked to match?
Regarding Roadhouse Medley (Anniversary Waltz Part 25), seems that there are 4 versions that originally came out across the 7" and CD singles:
Radio Edit 1 (04:40) Radio Edit 2 (04:57) - info from Discogs - maybe they are identical and someone has got the timings a bit wrong? Extended version (07:49) Roadhouse Mix (12:41) - assuming this is the one on the "Live Alive Quo" album
