There were a couple of posthumous releases by a version of T2 that formed after oneof the members left and lasted for about a year. I think they're supposed to be better tahn expected since I think the departed member was Keith Cross.
I came across them while going through amazon recommendations a couple of months back

six years pass...

There were a couple of posthumous releases by a version of T2 that formed after oneof the members left and lasted for about a year.

I'm pretty sure 1971-72 (which I haven't heard) is the only release from that lineup/era. the only other posthumous T2 release is T.2. (aka Fantasy), a 1970 demo recorded by the original lineup for their aborted second album shortly before Keith Cross's departure.

this is kinda interesting: it's an unreleased 1978 version of the track "T2", which originally appeared on that 1970 demo. it isn't as strong as the earlier version, but Peter Dunton's drumming is wild and it's fun to hear the keyboardist (does anyone know what kind of synth that is?) straining to match the heaviness of the original without a guitarist to back him up. there's a 1978 version of "Timothy Monday" on the same YouTube channel, so I wonder if that lineup was planning to release an entire album of old material around that time. I'm not sure if the uploader is a member of the band or just a fan with access to rare material
