The only thing anyone is coming close to hearing anything close to those Stienman recordings is from the that Vh1 specials Classic Albums that featured Hysteria........Joe, Phil and Sav were playing the pre-demos of many songs ... those click track demos are the pre-Steinman tapes...which is as close to that Steinman era recordings anyone is going to get to hear.
I am sure many fans (including myself) are a little curious to hear those for the sake of hearing the "evolution" of Hysteria for historical purposes.....but according to the Animal Instinct book, and many interviews over the years...those Steinman recordings are embarrassing from the bands point of view...and I can respect the notion that releasing those is not a good idea.
To be honest.......we all have a better chance of hearing unreleased tracks/songs from the VH 5150 vault than we will ever hear those Steinman recordings! LOL
