any hope for "try for the sun" ?

I really doubt that you will see the cover songs that Lindsey did over the last 7 years on the album. I may be wrong but, I would imagine that the band feels that after such a long hiatus from releasing original material to release an album with multiple tunes penned by other artists and previously released is not the direction they want to go in. I do expect a number of the songs we have heard will be on the album. Some might not be different at all, some may be drastically different, and some may not sound all that different but have been reworked. (Think Steal your Heart Away circa 1997 to the version we heard in 2002). Remember many of the GOS songs had Mick and John on them when they were recording the material for the solo project. I doubt all these songs got redone just because it was now a Fleetwood Mac project. The GOS songs are much more complete than demos, as they are so often referred to here. Many sound like mixed tracks, that have not been mastered. Mastering is the final step of the creative process and the lack of mastering is what accounts for many of the volume irregularities you hear on the tracks. The fingerpicking acoustic stuff is covered without cover tunes, listen to Red Rover, Say Goodbye, Murrow, and Miranda. With all that said I fully expect there are Lindsey tunes we have never heard on the album.
