Steps - General Discussion + Hard 2 Forget

I’d be surprised if the physical was any different to the digital. Gold and Ultimate Collection didn’t specify the edits on the physical releases.

 

I honestly don't really hear much of a difference.

 

The way the intro is cut and the way the song ends.

 

Is that what she's saying?

 

Yeah I agree... I think the album will do alright,


Just a thought though, seeing that they've already paid Steve Anderson to do the fresh mixes, would it not be more lucrative for them to release a fresh reworked Greatest Hits via StepsMusic/BMG rather than Sony?

 

Well, that’s what I’ve always been saying haha. Either way, I wish it was still there, it would make it an even more dramatic finish.

 

I also quite actively dislike the single remix of “Here and Now”

 

Steve's mixes aren't proper rerecordings in most cases. They use elements and vocals from the original recordings on most tracks...

To release them independently they'd need to rerecord everything, and they aren't doing that when preparing tour arrangements.

Plus they need ar least another 5 years before they can come back with "hey herees the greatest hits again"

 

OK very much disagree there! Love the single mix/Q-Street version.

 

The single mix is the ONLY version of Here & Now worth listening to.

 

Here And Now’s album version is so dull in comparison.

 

I used to think so too but in recent years I realised I was very wrong

 

I'm indifferent to any version of Here and Now.

 

The ultimate version of Here and Now is the Almighty Mix with the key change.

 

Splicing the two versions together to keep Lee's solo intact but still get Claire ad-libbing the last minute to death is the ultimate version, even if it isn't official.

 

The intro at Mighty Hoopla. Loved that they opened with Love’s Got a Hold on My Heart. Think it’s my favourite old era track.

 

Steve Anderson is a genius

 

Indeed, it'll help with the abruptness if anything. I often listen to the album version just for that part

 

This is good but compared to the Summer Of Steps opening it’s such a drop
