Cool Water
You and I -part one
Goodbye Angel
Make Me a Mask
Teen Beat
Book of Miracles
Go Insane (Dance)
Several of these are featured on The Chain box set, which seems ancient and forgotten now. I love the set, but thought it could be better. It's a rather bleakly designed, with an odd song arrangement, no liner notes to provide context for the material, and inexplicably, missing or inaccurate information about alternate mixes. It seems like it's long overdue to have a more up-to-date box set, after their new album, since this is such a "profound" chapter in their history.
In my dreams, a new box set (working title:The Links?) or double disks wouldn't be glutted with all the typical hits/familiar songs - the world doesn't need that. It would gather all the stray songs like the ones above, EP songs, and highlight others like Fireflies, Not Make Believe, Don't Let Me Down, Farmer's Daughter, One More Night, Paper Doll, Love Shines, Heart of Stone etc..
Also closely related material like the first duet version of Twisted, and Roll With Me Henry (which is practicably a Fleetwood Mac song since it features Christine with Mick, Billy (and Rick and John?). Of course alternate and new live versions of songs from,albums could flesh out the set.
What am I missing? This is my insomniac thread; it's four in the morning and I still can't go to sleep. It's going to be a rough day.

Sorry if you already answered this - but why can't you sleep? What's going on? Are you okay?
It was a comprehensive list I think, there doesn't appear to be anything missing there that I can recognise.
We also have a list from a 2012 archived thread of the 8 songs set recorded in mid-late 2012 with Lindsey, Mick and John with Stevie absent due to the death of her mother, Barbara Nicks.
I think her father already passed on before her mum, is that correct?
As a side note I just listened on YouTube to the demo of Lady (circa 1971) and the latest release (2014) and to be quite honest, yes the current piano is just slightly better than Stevie's original demo -- but really, I think she can and absolutely should be doing this song live on stage behind the piano, seated. She does it all the time for Rhiannon and the piano chords for Lady are really not all that difficult and she would be completely fine.
It would look more accomplished for her to be playing piano and singing on her own song. Just saying.
Updated to add: I believe though I do not know for sure, that most of Christine's songs demo'd for The Dance went straight on to In the Meantime. In a Dance interview promotion she admitted to writing 10-12 songs and needing to choose one.
Well, I'd say there are maybe 2 songs that missed out on both The Dance and Temporary One. One of those was leaked on to YouTube and I'm saying that could be a third. We know her songs from this year are called Too Far Gone and How I Feel.
Lindsey's 2012 songs from memory are
Hunger
Lay Down for Free
Is it Right
Miss Fantasy/Sad Angel
(Not - It Takes Time)
Up Your Speed
That's all I remember but I think there are one or too more - ah, Carnival Begin
There was a brief fleeting mention on Fleetwood Mac News of two new Stevie songs one was My Mother's Rings and I completely forget the title of the other song now. Oh well.
