I don't think people complain about TFC simply because it contains leftovers - the point was that the songs were decided upon by Bob, David and presumably Roger to be not good enough of The Wall, and as a result didn't quite have the musical strength to now become the backbone of a new album. As opposed to, say, Us and Them, which the band knew was good (even Antonioni liked it, but thought it didn't fit the movie). But I digress.
Yes, to get the stuff mentioned here would be good. And I can't imagine they would let this chance slide by; copyrights on the unreleased things is gonna run out sooner or later.
There are Dark Side rehearsal tapes.
Brain Damage demo from 1971
Mortality Sequence
Travel Sequence
Peter Whitehead’s Brighton Dome footage
Extraction Tapes stuff:
Demo of Have a Cigar
Demo of Welcome to the Machine
A complete SOYCD (the extraction version includes a fair amount of edited out material...while missing Dave’s first solo and the entire last section. If they could find the master tapes and release a version with the entirety of the recording we could get a 27-30 minute SOYCD)
Flight from Reality
Bitter Love/How Do You Feel?
Pawn to King 5
These have all been mentioned sparilingly over the years
Full Household Projects (Carrots, etc)
Any demos of Gotta Be Crazy or Raving and Drooling
Extraction Tapes versions of Animals songs (alternate lyrics, some different solos, Roger singing Dogs)
8track Pigs on the Wing
Live In the Flesh show (even if it’s a cleaned up audience tape like Oakland)
Roger’s demos for the Wall/Pros and Cons
I’m willing to bet they demoed more PACOHH and Final Cut material during the Wall sessions. We are always told Your Possible Pasts, One of the Few, Hero’s Return (teacher, teacher), and Fletcher Memorial Home or the title track were “The Wall leftovers”, so they no doubt worked on them.
Also, they obviously recorded “sexual revolution”, maybe there’s more Pros and Cons material that they either tried out or considered for the Wall. A Floyd version of “gone fishing” would thrill me
Wall soundtrack versions
Comfortably Numb minus the fade out/alternate solo takes
The Wall rehearsals are interesting
The Wall concert video from 1980
Hero’s Return Pts 1 & 2
Final Cut demos
Final Cut videos
Peace Be With You
Any results of the de-80s-ing of MLOR
Big Bong Theory material (the satellite spacey material that was at one point going to go with the Division Bell
La Carrera Pan America tracks
Jon Carin’s Learning to Fly demo
Signs of Life demo
I’m sure there’s more MLOR demos
And I’m sure there’s at least SOME material we don’t even know about (much like Roger’s Boogie and Song 2 surprised us).
Any usable live recordings from 73 tour, 74-75, 77....maybe even a pro recorded Division Bell show (I know Torino and Oslo certainly sound like Board recordings.
Maybe not 26 discs, but there’s enough that they could do it.

I want to hear the complete Comfortably Numb solo, without the fade out. Or all the unused takes of the solo.
Seconded. Would consider buying the set on that basis alone.
Any 70s era concert video would be like the holy grail to me, the talk of a pro shot 1974 show in Nick's book makes for tantalising reading. Also wasn't there unused early Dark Side era material filmed for "Superstars In Concert"? The unearthing of French news crew footage of Knebworth 1975 also goes to show you never can tell what might be out there...
