If you google Bruce Dickinson speed you will see lots of info
There are two tracks that are said to be from Speed in circulation; "Down the road" and "Man in the street" taken from a 7" single. However, these are NOT demos of songs of the actual band Speed, but recordings that Paul White, the keyboard player of Speed, made for educational purposes and has Bruce on vocals. White apparently used the Speed name for this project but him and Bruce are the only original Speed-members to play on the recording. The tracks were written by White and other musicians are Steve Adams (lead & rhythm guitar), Gary Edwards (keyboards) and Jeff Moody on Drums. The single comes with an info-sheet which has a pic of Bruce from the Samson days on it which places the release nicely in time, around 1979-1980.
According to Bruce the two songs are not really representative of Speed's sound and with the circumstances of the conception of the recordings in mind he's probably right.
Paul Bruce Dickinson (born 7 August 1958), known professionally as Bruce Dickinson, is an English musician, airline pilot, and broadcaster. He is best known as the lead vocalist of the heavy metal band Iron Maiden.
Dickinson began his career in music fronting small pub bands at school and university, including Styx (not the American band of the same name)
in 1976, Speed, (1977–1978)
, and Shots in early 1979. He then joined the band Samson later in 1979, where he gained some popularity under the stage name "Bruce Bruce". He left Samson in 1981 to join Iron Maiden, replacing Paul Di'Anno, and debuted on their 1982 album The Number of the Beast. During his first tenure in the band, they issued a series of US and UK platinum and gold albums in the 1980s, resulting in Dickinson gaining worldwide fame, and becoming one of the most acclaimed heavy metal vocalists of all time.
