Steps – Step One (Magenta Vinyl)

Available on vinyl for the first time, Demon Records and Fascination proudly presents the three original Steps Studio albums. Steps are the most successful co-ed group in British chart history. Irresistible and inimitable, their unique blend of perfect pop anthems, dynamic dance moves and a sheer sense of fun has been delighting fans for over 25 years.

Step One is the debut album by British pop group Steps. It was released in the UK and Europe on 14 September 1998. The album charted at number two on the UK Albums Chart upon its release, going on to spend 64 weeks in the chart. It was beaten to number one by This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours by Manic Street Preachers, who also beat Steps’ single “One for Sorrow” to number one on the UK Singles Chart with the song “If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next“.

In February 2000, the album was re-released in the US, containing songs from both Step One and its successor, Steptacular. The tracks “5,6,7,8“, “Last Thing on My Mind“, “One for Sorrow“, “Heartbeat” and “Better Best Forgotten” were released as the singles in UK. The album contains some covers; “Last Thing on My Mind” was originally released in the 1980s as a single by British girl group Bananarama, while “Love U More” was originally recorded by techno/house band Sunscreem. “Experienced” was originally recorded by boybands The Bario Boys & Worlds Apart, and “Stay With Me” appears on Romeo’s Daughters‘ self-titled début album.

All editions feature painstakingly rebuilt original artwork, complete with additional images and full lyrics.
