You have it backwards. Early Lungfish sounded like Reptile House.

That's what I said. I don't think there's too much distance between Listen to the Powersoul and Talking Songs for Walking.

No, you said that LTTP sounded like Lungfish. There is a subtle, but important difference.

They were not preparing to be Lungfish, they were being Reptile House. To write them off as a Lungfish warm up is to negate the fact that they were a band in their own right.

There does seem to be a decent amount of material in the vaults. London May provided us with a never-released song called "Origin of Sadman" which we'll be giving the world premiere to.
Also came across this on Vimeo of them doing a Neil Young song.
