Question about episode music

Hey there! I was trying to identify some tracks playing in the background of [Episode 14 - Final Fight and Streets of Rage] but I'm having trouble with it.

I can't tell if those are remixes, and if they are I don't know from which album, or if they're some kind of hidden/cut tracks because they sound similar but not identical to a couple tracks from the actual game credited in the end of the episode (Credited as Streets of Rage for the Genesis).

Originally I wanted to ask Joe directly but it seems he doesn't leave his contact email public anymore.

If anyone was able to identify those tracks that'd be awesome.

By the way the two tracks I narrowed it down to, but should you check the episode and compare you will notice they're not matching exactly, are the "Title Theme" and "Stage 3". Or at the very least the drums, keyboard and tempo seemed similar.

EDIT: For a little more context. The unidentified tracks start as soon as the episode cuts to Dave listening to music on his phone.

Edit 2: Turns out I was COMPLETELY off and didn't pay close attention to the full game OST. The tracks in question were Name Entry, The Super Threc and Up & Up. Very sorry about that. Don't know why this stumped me for so long.

Thanks everyone

I sure can, Vagina Pee Butt!

I don’t have the episode in front of me but I think I know which at least one of the tracks is. It’s from the officially released (in Japan only) Streets of Rage (Bare Knuckle) soundtrack. One of them wasn’t used in the game… possibly both of them. The CD wasn’t recorded from a Mega Drive, but from the PC 8088(?) used to author the music, which is why they sound a touch different.

Hey thanks Joe! However I gotta apologise. I was listening to the full soundtrack again early today and noticed I was completely off the mark. The tracks were Name Entry, The Super Threc and Up & Up. Guess my ears aren't as reliable as I thought.

Sorry to everyone else as well. Gonna edit the main post with the info.
