If I had to guess, a number of these tracks were United contenders (when it was humorously referred to as "Untitled"), specifically tracks 1, 3, 6 and 12.
Twelve Years is, IMO, the definitive version of Sweet Needles of Success. For one, it isn't mastered badly, and secondly, the orchestral backing makes it better.
Anyways, I'd say my favorite disc in the set is #5 since it pretty much covers So Long Celeste's production from start to finish. Maybe the fact that this album is my most favorite album of all time comes into play lol.
Maybe its an unpopular opinion, but I think SLC was butchered when the tracks were remixed and made more "poppy". The only track which I think sounds better on that album is "Today". The rest were messed with way too much!
The demo of "Change the World" is incredible. Apart from Marian's vocal being slightly off in some spots, it sounds a bit better than the final mix I think.
