Referenced potential for a Riverrun boxset again in another thread earlier today (since it's seeming like AHDO and OWB deluxe sets are much less likely now), then proceeded to go down a rabbit hole afterwards looking through all the related tracks for that again on Discogs.

I realized something that I hadn't before for it: there's enough of the solo track versions that have been officially released to already make an amazing album of their own. Collecting these independent tracks together as a disc of extras/alternates (many of them longer, especially the infamous 20-minute Ancient Phat Farm Coat) should be easy to do since already edited/mastered for release and would also make a nicely representative sampling of Riverrun.

I count seven tracks across all the remix EPs and the Japan-only JAL to Tokyo EP (let me know if any others I missed). There's also a potential 9-minute doubled in length mix of Mowed Path from some Metropolis Group CDr for I'm A Big Sister that I'm not sure of, but the other track times on it seem legit and would be interesting (if anyone knows anything about that one). Anyway these seem reasonable and worthwhile to collect, and would be about 66 minutes all together.

The JAL to Tokyo EP would be a great option to expand out for packaging this, since it already contained three of these tracks and had its own specific cover. Digital-only re-release would probably be easiest (and fitting considering), but still a good option for CD and even double-vinyl (one can hope).
