Original Plans for Bat 2 Deluxe 2002?

According to this article: http://www.jimsteinman.com/bat2rerelease.html

Quote:

Now expanded into a two-CD set, BAT OUT OF HELL II: BACK INTO HELL (DELUXE EDITION) adds the single edit of the #1 smash "I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)" as well as the radio edits of the Top 40 hit "Objects In The Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are," Top 20 "Rock And Roll Dreams Come Through" and "Life Is A Lemon And I Want My Money Back."

Also appended are a 1998 remix of "Life Is A Lemon And I Want My Money Back"; an acoustic "Objects In The Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are" and its Wild Car Mix, and three live tracks recorded in July 1993, including flashbacks to the original BAT OUT OF HELL ("Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad" plus the previously unreleased "All Revved Up With No Place To Go" and "Heaven Can Wait").

the second disc was to be somewhat different. Not earth-shattering, just different. Does anyone know why plans changed? Why BOOH and Took The Words weren't to be featured on the CD instead of those dismal attempts at All Revved Up and Heaven Can Wait? Was this track list ever put to CD? Was it actually given to reviewers? Does anyone have it?
