Does anyone know if record labels keep a copy of every instrumental of every song produced by their producers? I know that there are places online that have regenerated or reproduced instrumentals of popular songs but like I stated before, do record labels have all instrumentals of all the songs created.

You'd need an industry veteran to get the deep answer but tape/ hard-drive space are too cheap to discard anything. Look at the alternate-version Motown material that's been released...or Queen or Pink Floyd or... I have no idea where you might find such material but I have to believe it exists. I appreciate your posing the question--gets one thinking about one's own favorite hidden/suppressed/just not found shtuff.
