The "alternate music" build of Sonic Spinball is an assumed prototype of Sonic Spinball for the Sega Mega Drive.
Very little is understood about this build of Sonic Spinball. It was leaked onto the internet in late 1993, and was assumed for many years to be a commercially released version of the game. On the surface, the game is identical to the final US build, however uses a rendition of the Sonic the Hedgehog theme from Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog 2. This is known to have been a last minute change to the game, as the Spinball team were unaware that Sega did not own the rights to this composition, forcing musician Howard Drossin to create a new theme from scratch after the game was "completed".
It was assumed, therefore, that this dump was from an initial print run of the game, manufactured before this issue was spotted, however no such cartridges have ever been found, and further analysis of the contents reveal other minor differences, suggesting it is indeed a prototype version of the game (albeit a very late one).
