MJ / Beegees Eaten Alive demo(s)??

[Mr. Norway]

The Barry Gibb site has a section which offers " The Eaten Alive demos" which one can buy. Unfortunately there is just no demo of the song itself available. It says that there is supposed to be a demo of the song with MJ on the vocals, a so-called "MJ snippet". Does anyone have it or have heard it at all and know anything more about it??

 

[Mr. Norway]

Is nobody interested in the Eaten Alive demo??

I've never seen it online, and I don't think it's leaked in any form... I love The Eaten Alive album & would love hearing the demo of it's title track, but it seems its looked away in a vault somewhere IF it exists.

I would of course love to hear it, so just bring it

Michael is credited with backup vocals on "Eaten Alive" would be nice to hear the demos
Here is the back story

From wiki
"Eaten Alive" is a 1985 single released by Diana Ross on the RCA label. It was the first release off her Eaten Alive album. The song was written by Barry Gibb, Maurice Gibb and Michael Jackson the latter also co-producing with Barry and his team. Jackson and Barry Gibb can be heard singing in the background of the song with Jackson at times co-singing lead with Ross. The danceable song became a modest hit on the Pop Singles chart peaking at number seventy-seven while faring much better on the R&B singles chart where it peaked at number ten helped by BET's heavy rotation of the music video.

In the song's original copyright registration from 11 March 1985 it was credited to Barry Gibb and Maurice Gibb. It was not until Michael Jackson heard the demo of it that he suggested the chorus could be improved. The second copyright registration was filed 1 June 1985 with the note ‘words and music in the choruses have been completely rewritten’.

From "For The Record"

Song written by Michael with Barry and Maurice Gibb – two of the Bee Gees.
Originally written, and registered in March 1985, by Barry and Maurice Gibb. Michael heard their demo and felt it needed something else.
Barry offered to share credit with Michael, if he wanted to supply what he thought was missing. Michael agreed and a second demo – recorded by Michael – was registered in July, with the note, "words and music in the choruses have been completely rewritten".
Both demo versions, recorded in Los Angeles, remain unreleased.
Recorded by Diana Ross in mid 1985 in Los Angeles, with Michael and the Gibb brothers on backing vocals, for her album of the same title, issued in September 1985.
Produced by Michael with Barry Gibb, Karl Richardson and Albhy Galuten. Michael was present during the recording of the instrumental tracks, and judged whether they were suitable by dancing to them in the studio. He also supervised the mixing, settling on one that Galuten wasn’t too happy with.
Performed by Diana at the American Music Awards in 1986.
Issued as a single: charted at no.10 on the R&B singles chart and no.77 on the Hot 100 in the States, and no.71 in the UK.
Official Versions:
Album Version. Instrumental.
Extended Remix. Single Version Edited.
