Streets: A Rock Opera (Narrated Version)

The album was originally due to be a double CD record, but record label Atlantic Records lost reels of the sessions in their vaults. These "lost tracks" were re-written over the years and eventually formed parts of songs on Edge of Thorns and later works. The album as a double CD as originally intended will never see the light, partly because the only recordings that remain are on audio cassette of the master tapes, and partly because most of the original ideas for the songs were used in later works. Originally the album would contain more spoken tracks than the one used for the introduction for Jesus Saves (which was a reworking of DT Jesus after Atlantic did not like the original version, and was recorded with only Jon and Criss in the studio, much like Gutter Ballet). However, a 31-track narrated version of the album was released by EarMusic Records on September 27 2013.

Among the songs that were dropped was also "DT Jesus", later reworked into "Jesus Saves", a song which will be properly released on the 2013 directors cut version of the album, and also available on the From the Gutter to the Stage compilation. "Desirée" was later released on the 1997 Edel re-release of the album as an acoustic version sung by Zak. "Stay" involves the otherwise unknown character of Duke and was supposed to follow on from "Ghost in the Ruins", and appears on the 1997 re-release of HOTMK, also in an acoustic arrangement). "Sanctuary" was a new version of the Gutter Ballet out-take "Target". "Larry Elbows" (referred to by some as "the 17th track"), which will be included in the 2013 reissue, is based on an old demo by the band, "Before I Hang", which also appeared on Jon Olivas Pains album Global Warning. The track was also used as basis for the Edge of Thorns song "Follow Me". "Beyond Broadway", another track written for the album, was also reworked by Jon Oliva and parts of the song formed "Lies" on the Jon Olivas Pains album Festival.

The band recorded a music video for the song "Jesus Saves" which received some airplay on MTV, and featured long time Savatage cover artist Gary Smith playing the role of DT Jesus. A video was filmed for "New York City Dont Mean Nothing", but that video has been "lost" and as of 2011 has never been aired.
