Given the wonderful box sets for Be Bop and beyond to Red Noise and Bill’s solo work what are the chances of a Love that Whirls/Chimera box set? I’m sure there would be plenty of material!

So, now that the Quit Dreaming box set has finally arrived, I think we can all now speculate on what The Love That Whirls box set will contain!
Based on past reissues, I imagine a remastered album with bonus tracks, a second disc of additional tracks from the era, a remix, and a blu-ray with 5.1. Here's my hoped for tracklisting: would be interested in what others have to say.
Disc 1: Remastered Album
Empire of the Senses
Hope for the Heartbeat
Waiting For Voices
A Private View
Eros Arriving
The Bride of Christ in Autumn
Flesh
He and Sleep Were Brothers
When Your Dream of Perfect Beauty Comes True
Flaming Desire
Portrait of Jan with Flowers
The Crystal Elevator in the Palace of God Department Store
Echo in Her Eyes (The Lamps of Oblivion)
The October Man
Haunting In My Head
The Passion
The Burning Question
Eros Arriving (Single Version)
Hope for the Heartbeat (Remix)
Total Time: 75 mins
N.B. Since "White Sound" appears as track 7 on all other CD editions of Quit Dreaming, a practice carried over to the new box set, I'm leaving "Flesh" and "He and Sleep Were Brothers" as tracks 7 and 8 here, since that's where they have also appeared on previous CD editions.
Disc 2: Session Tracks and Chimera
Flaming Desire (Extended Remix)
The Man in the Rexine Suit
Watching My Dream Boat Go Down in Flames
The Meat Room
Narcosis
Another Happy Thought (Carved Forever In Your Cortex)
Portrait of Jan with Moon and Stars
The Real Adventure
Acceleration
Everyday Feels LIke A New Drug
Tender Is the Night
Glow World
Another Day Another Ray of Hope
Acceleration (Long Version)
Acceleration (Dub)
Acceleration (Short Version)
Total Time: 73 mins
This tracklisting might leave room for a radio session or two
Disc 2: Remix
Repeat of Disc 1 track listing, remixed.
The Kalamazoo Kid has determined that Savage Gestures was part of the Love That Whirls session, so those tracks definitely belong here. Chimera is a tougher call, and so I can imagine it not bring part of this set, leaving the rest of that disc free for demos and radio/live sessions. The two single remixes might also find their way onto the second disc in that case.
