From what I remember, without checking, So Sorry I said was a remix of the demo Neil did and Losing my mind was the Demo they did for Liza. I dont think either were re-recorded.

Agreed, this is from the Further Listening booklet:

Neil: "This was a demo done very quickly at Abbey Road Studios, around about the same time as 'Nothing has been proved'. Chris wasn't there when I did the demo. It's basically an attempt to sound like Stephen Sondheim, and was written for Liza Minnelli. Our demo was never mixed, it was just put onto cassette, so this is the one song we have remixed for these re-releases.”

Are the Fl and Jelousy mixes of "Losing my mind (disco mix)" different?
Except from the remaster, I never noticed any differences... Are there any??

LMM Liza 12'' is a full minute longer than the PSB 12''.
The PSB 7'' is 4:35.
Incredible that even the b-sides have 12'' and 7'' versions in so many cases

No. They're the same mix.

I believe there is enough material for two Ray Roberts' albums "The Camden Era"
Neil should also clean up his old demoes from the 70's, that would really be a cool thing to hear.
