Discography and Collectable Items

This section is a reference and information centre for fans which includes Steve's standard releases which all fans should have as well as a few of his more collectable and import/rare/promo items which you may not have seen or know about.

By their definition, promo items are not for sale in the major chains of music shops, however it is a fact that these items do often find their way into the reseller marketplace for collectors.

As they often feature different covers, different versions, or added features that may not have been included with the standard release, and are produced in smaller quantities than standard releases, they are highly desireable to collectors and completist fans.

There are also, on occasion, items which have some sort of error on them, which may mean that there was only a short run that slipped through before the error was spotted, or perhaps the item itself was pulled from official release (such as the single "Because of You" that Steve wrote which was performed by Meat Loaf - the song was intended for release in Germany and possibly Holland, but for some reason it was pulled from release as a single and the only singles of it we know of are a few white label promos that slipped through in Germany.)

There are also some older standard recordings which have now been deleted and you are unlikely to find them through standard means. Some of your best sources for these items are via the internet and collector's record/CD shops and magazines, such as the UK's "Record Collector" and "Goldmine" in the US. A few remaining new copies of Steve's solo album and singles are available through his website http://www.stevebalsamo.com.

You will also find this information listed in the biography section under each topic, however, if you are a "completist" type of fan/collector, we hope you will appreciate this list, as it will help you determine any gaps in your collection or even tell us about any extra "goodies" which you may be fortunate enough to have that we don't know about!

If you do happen to find something else that we can add to the list, please let us know about it! We do not claim to have or know about everything Steve has written or performed on but we are always grateful to learn about additional items and share the "eternal search" with other keen fans!

The Ever Growing List (roughly in order of release where known):
