Awesome stuff.
I believe that 2007 single is a bootleg but Rock Hard was put on an official European Def Jam Compilation in 1987: https://www.discogs.com/Various-Kick.../release/89879

I never understood how that could be but assume it has to do with either a variation in the copyright laws or perhaps Def Jam just being like "eff it".
