So, to be clear, the COTC songs' availability outside of COTC:
Don't Look Past Me - This version was exclusive to COTC, as there wasn't a fully-produced version with James on vocals before the CD was put together. He recorded new vocals for it in 1999, during the Scenes sessions, I believe. A version of this song from the singer auditions with John Hendricks on vocals was included in the Images & Words demos (out of stock for years). If you hunt around,
a "live" rehearsal recording of JLB singing it with the band was on the bootleg Antiquities, but it doesn't have samples or multitracked vocals, and the sound quality is pretty bad. The COTC version was eventually re-released on the Lifting Shadows bonus CD (good luck getting ahold of that!).
To Live Forever '91 - The ATCO demos (also a limited-edition fan club CD), which were reissued on the Images & Words demos (was out of stock for years).
To Live Forever '94 - The Lie single, Greatest Hit.
Eve - The Silent Man single.
Raise The Knife, Where Are You Now, The Way It Used To Be, Cover My Eyes - All available on the Falling Into Infinity demos (again, out of stock for years), but in significantly worse quality (worse mix, worse mastering, etc. They sound plain awful. If the FII demos get re-pressed, they NEED a round of remastering).
Speak To Me - Same as above, but also available in nice sound quality on the Japanese release of Falling Into Infinity, on a bonus mini-CD (also includes a good-quality version of the Take Away My Pain demo).
So, the only way you get all of these songs is by buying the Images & Words demos, the Falling Into Infinity demos, the Lie single or Greatest Hit, and the Silent Man single, and even if you do this, you don't get the JLB version of Don't Look Past Me, and all the FII demos sound atrocious, and you've spent quite a lot of money to get this lot.
COTC only occasionally pops up on eBay and the like, usually going for upwards of £50 (which actually works out better than buying all the individual other things, and sounds better, and has the best version of Don't Look Past Me). Having a re-pressing so people can actually get ahold of these songs without either being a member of the fan club in 1999 or hunting around for obscure singles and long-out-of-print official bootlegs and such that you used to have to buy directly from one website that was last updated in 2009, would definitely be a good thing, and especially if the Lost Not Forgotten Archive releases are going on Spotify and the like (which looks to be the case), it would make all these "obscure" songs way, way more available to average fans, which can only be a good thing.
Certainly, it would be great if a COTC re-release made enough waves to allow Don't Look Past Me to show up on a future tour setlist. (Or, hey, maybe Raise The Knife or Eve)
