Rock n' Roll Doggie Band-aid
My sense is that some of Thomas' work is intact, but I dont know if he's been involved for a while now.
Here's a recap of what's been happening:
Most of sessions from 2015 onward have been Barlow and Thomas. This is the stuff the band was working on during the ie tour. I guess Barlow had some sort of mobile studio set up for them.
Late Summer 2016, Lillywhite came in initially to mix what was to be the first single, The Best Thing, in anticipation of a fall release for SOE. However, the decision was made to hold off, and do more work. I believe Lillywhite's role was then expanded to working on the other songs they'd recorded as well
Tedder, Jackknife Lee became involved in this later period as well, but I dont know how in depth they ever got. We shouldn't be surprised to see their names in the credits in a few spots.
These last weeks had the band working to various degrees on the record in NYC and the south of France. Not sure what this means in terms of who was involved... probably just Edge with producers/engineers? Though there was mention at one point over the winter that the desire was to re-record most of the material, to try and find better arrangements, so maybe the whole band has been in and out.
Work will continue in the coming weeks (months?) as the band embark on the TJT tour. I think Lillywhite is done for now, and I think Barlow will be back with them on the road for this period. At least for rehearsals and the first show in Vancouver.
