I read somewhere that River Runs Dry was the next Always Jon wrote but it was after the album (These Days) had been released and it didn't fit Destination Anywhere.
I have a list, where even Out Of Bounds was listed as from 1996 but I think it was from 1992
And quite speculative are the recordings from 1997 - Shut Up And Kiss Me and All I Wanna Do Is You, the first is confirmed to have been recorded with the Big Dogs but the latter is not however it's expected given the year.
I find it interesting that the songs which were used as b-sides weren't re-recorded by the band. Apart from Jon a Huey, those are totally different people playing. And Real Life was, with the intention to release it as a single. I'd love the band's take of Stay for example.
I love this era and I love Crush the way it is (well apart from She's A Mystery..). I'd love to have Jon's Sex Sells album and then the band's version, which would be the same to some extent with a few Richie's songs added.

I think the dates the official list had are wrong. Some sound dead on but Out of Bounds would have been recorded pre Slippery, for the movie Out of Bounds which came out in 86. They also listed Ordinary People as being for These Days even though it's a Crush Bside and relies very heavily on Shawn Mullin's Lullaby, which they even mentioned in the box set dvd. That song came out in the late 90's so again, that date can't be right.
It's all a guessing game I guess. I'd like to say the trend of blurring the line between band and solo came from the Crush B-sides but including Drive as a b-side for the Destination Anywhere singles started that I guess. Someday just might be....and I Get A Rush (to me) both fit the Crush vibe so well, the first one especially.
