All I have are various off-air versions on a digi-box. Both are via Film4 (the recent one before Xmas and one from around 2002). Such a shame there isn't even a real DVD of it.

Would love to see the original version and not the hacked studio cut. But, I think it's a movie Mann has wiped from his history.

The Keep was based on a book I think is the best horror novel I have ever read. The movie is an absolute disaster, IMO. The author of the book, F Paul Wilson, was so upset with the film that he wrote Cuts, a short story where a writer got revenge on the director that had ruined his story. The director was unsubtly named Milo Ghirl.

If there is a director's cut we have never seen I'd like to see it although it's hard to see how there's any way it could be saved.
