Does anybody know how to eliminate music tracks from a stereo recording leaving only the Lead vocal?

The reverse of a vocal remover.

Thanks

The vocal remover works on the principle that the voice is panned dead center in mono and the rest is panned left/right in stereo. So if you phase reverse on of the channels the voice is canceled out. I don't know how good this works. Pretty good on some songs and not at all on others i guess.
However if you have the track with the vocals removed and and the original lned up sample exact you can phase revers on of the tracks and voila theoretically you should have the vocals only stripped of the music.
This depends on how good you removed the vocals from the track to begin with and you may have to adjust the lavels to get the maximum amount of phase cancellation.

I have'nt tried this but it works in theory.
