IMDb now has the 1989 compilation and the 1998 compilation, but there's also a 2004 DVD out there. And they're all different. I have them all and I made the following sketch list.

LEGEND OF SYMBOLS
* This means that the sketch is exclusive to this compilation. So if you have both the other versions, these sketches are what you're missing.
- This means that the sketch is on the 1989 comp and the 1998 comp. There are two of these.
§ This means that the sketch is on the 1998 comp and the 2004 comp. There are three of these.
/ This means that the sketch is on the 1989 comp and the 2004 comp. There's one of these.

The rest, that don't have symbols, are on all three compilations.

There's also this one:
http://amzn.com/6302933544

Which I'm pretty sure has highlights of the 2 episodes hosted by him, one in 1982 while still on the show http://snltranscripts.jt.org/82/82i.phtml, and one in 1984 http://snltranscripts.jt.org/84/84i.phtml.

I'd know for sure, but I can't find the cover to the VHS tape.

Oh wow, another from, from 1993. Never saw that one before.
