I understand that the Andy offerings ended up on Eddie Riff - Pyramid of Dawn was one I think.

One thing making them unlikely is the apparent lack material. For the debut album there was for example the demo tapes and plenty of Peel session recordings, but from what I've read from Phil & the others there isn't much surviving for the other albums, well maybe 'Avalon' aside, but most of that has been leaked anyway.
Seemingly Roxy recorded over any doodlings that didn't make the cut so they could re-use the valuable tape.
For Your Pleasure - subtitled 'Deluxe & Delightful' maybe?
As Pyjamarama although recorded at the early sessions has never appeared on the album, we can probably discount any alternate takes/mixes if they exist.
That leaves 'Grey Lagoons' from the demo tape & 'The Peel Sessions'. There might be some interesting unseen video footage floating around and soundboard live recordings from the FYP tour, but what else? Enough to warrant a deluxe edition?
Stranded
I read that Roxy considered a couple of Andy's things, before settling on what would become 'A Song For Europe'. Was the other offering an early version of 'Three & Nine', or Bitter-Sweet', or perhaps something that made it on to 'In Search of Eddie Riff?
Siren
Would love to hear Andy's original demo of 'Love is the Drug' if it survives - apparently very different from what would become the single.
Eddie's co-write 'She Sells' made the album, but 'As the World Turns' was also considered. Maybe there is a demo still in existence?
Manifesto
'Dance Away' was originally intended to be a Bryan solo effort, firstly worked on on the 'TBSB', & then 'IYM' sessions, before it saw the light of day on 'Manifesto'. Maybe there are demos of it about?
Thoughts anybody?
