I don't think I have ever heard any apart from the first two.

well, remembered that the early versions of burning lights were ripped directly from the movie. was prob hoping someone might have done the same with the rest of the tracks. and with when pigs fly surfacing with improved quality recently i got excited again...

Are the tracks in full on the movie or is there dialogue over them?

The only song I recognise from that list is Need Your Love So Bad which I think is a Peter Green original. Gary Moore does a brilliant live version of it.

I keep forgetting what a cracking little ditty Afro Cuban Be Bop is, love that era Joe.

the video-file i got is 1hr 19mins but i’m completely lost here as i have no idea as to how they are supposed to sound. around 1:10 there’s some jazzy background music, but doesn’t sound like joe. i'm starting to think these tracks are not even in the version of the movie i got but left somewhere in the desert with the rest of the wilderness catalogue stuff...

It's years since I watched that movie, but can only remember the 2 Joe songs from it. He's definitely nothing to do with Need Your Love anyway, no way that's ever a Joe song. Are you sure that's not just a mistake in the listings?
