„So are there any completely unreleased pieces that you are putting on the Aqualung reissue?
„There was really nothing that has never been released. I’ve been all through the catalog in years gone by. If it had not been released, there were a few incomplete songs that were just doodles. Maybe there was just a demo put down, but they are not complete songs, just incomplete backing tracks. The men at EMI were kind of hankering after putting one of those incomplete ideas out just for the fans, and I said “No.” …“

„It’s not for public consumption. It’s a private moment involving us all to the point where you go, “This doesn’t work.” Especially when these bits are not very well played, it doesn’t serve the reputations of the musicians when you are just fooling around in the studio with an idea that doesn’t go anywhere. I have to draw the line somewhere, and I’ve drawn it pretty firmly a long time ago with a few pieces of music that were incomplete…“

IA just confirmed of 4 tracks have different versions, included as bonustracks: Wind-Up, My God, Slipstream and Wond’ring Aloud. So, 7 unconfirmed bonustracks to go.

Those seem most likely to me again:

1. Lick Your Fingers Clean
2. Life Is A Long Song
3. Up The ‚Pool
4. Dr. Bogenbroom
5. From Later
6. Nursie
7. Wond’ring Again
