Unreleased Songs Masterlist: Material to expect from further archival releases

I am still hoping for a cleaned up version of River Song that was recorded in 73, I believe, as well as a live version. I was really hoping those would be included in the Sail on Sailor set. I am still holding onto hope for a live set from 73 and 74 shows.
I believe they could mostly if not fully re-create that rough mix of "River Song" with the multitracks of the finished song. That would be the best way to get a "clean" version of that iteration of the songs.

Count me among those who would pay good money for a Love You boxset, even if it has to include material from 15BO and Adult/Child (which I personally don't care for) to fill it out. Maybe, hopefully, the silver lining to Brian's passing might mean that we get an archival release of material more associated with him as an individual artist. I'd love a comprehensive Paley Sessions boxset, even if a lot of it has come out in other places, it'd be nice to just have it all in one place and without any inferior remixes like in the 04 album. Im not sure what exists in the vaults for Brian's solo career but I'd love an "Imagination...Naked" type release of any raw tapes that may exist pre-Thomas' noodling, or perhaps the same for BW88, if there are demos and/or less overwrought mixes out there that let those songs breathe. (In my opinion the final version is so cacophonous I can hardly make out the melodies.)
Now, to my favorite topic ;D...
Is there any good reason why the SMiLE material hasn't gotten the Pet Sounds treatment of officially released a capella and instrumental only versions of the songs? I know the TSS boxset gave us some session highlights and the "backing vocals montage" track but so much was missing if there wasn't a valid reason like the tapes being lost. Im desperately trying to get my hands on isolated CIFOTM chorus/SU reprise vocals for my fanmix as well as what I believe is referred to as the "Version 1 chorus" of CIFOTM. (As heard here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O271xZpAIw8 and in a more complete albeit low quality form here: https://youtu.be/k8aBdPYtNkI?si=H73-yPSMLMhELsGg&t=172 <I'd kill to have that entire piece in high quality!)
I wouldn't mind higher quality versions of some of the Psychedelic Sounds as well, though realistically I'm probably alone on that front. Just the Smog and Taxi Cabber skits and more of the Hal Blaine veggie fight would be great. (The one they included in TSS was way too brief.)

I heard a wonderful and rather short vocals only of Child is Father of the man with the very high key baby voice. Described as ...'spooky surf'. Also H&V - though vocals only isn't entirely accurate. There was the sound of a bell tolling. Rather odd.

Where are these specific tracks to listen to?

This has jogged my memory, I’ve got a red coloured glossy card cased ocean CD I’ve not listened to for years! What I do remember of it is at the time loving the hi-fidelity in comparison to other SMiLE boots I came across way back then. The audio quality was rich and phat. Hopefully it’s a rich as my distant memory thinks it might be. I think it also had some tracks in stereo but I may be wishful thinking on that. Will dig it out and have a play :afro
Daft question but is there a way to add pics on here? I’d love to upload some to see if it jogs anyones mind got any background on it
