I don't think that's the case. Why would he do that?
Runaway and In And Out Of Love from Tokyo 1985 were included on OWN and Alec was credited (7 years after leaving the band). They could've included any other song with Hugh playing.
Alec is also credited on the box set, 10 years after leaving the band. Even though we all know he wasn't much of a studio player and it was rather Hugh who played there.
So there's no point in replacing Richie at all. If the release is meant as a boxset.
On the other hand, Burning Bridges was meant as an album, even though it was compiled but it was realeased as an album so I get why it was recorded as a whole, so without Richie.
