Books
Gold Our Greatest Hits - Book (2001)


Magazines

Attitude (back cover: Lee) (February 2012 issue)
Attitude (front cover: Steps) (November 2021 issue)

Party on the Dancefloor - Programme + ticket (2017)
Summer of Steps - Programme + ticket (2018)
What the Future Holds - Programme + ticket (2021)
Poster (sold at Party on the Dancefloor tour in 2017 - the picture is the artwork used for Neon Blue)


Calendars
Official 2022

(I'm fairly sure that I had their 2000 calendar too, but I suspect that my parents threw it away years ago, because I've not come across it in a long time. Unless it's hiding somewhere in a box in the attic?)


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


I don't really recall if I had any other merchandise items from them during their heyday. I might have done! If I did they must have been thrown away or got lost.

There's certainly room for improvement in my collection! I don't have these singles:

Last Thing on My Mind [CD2]
One for Sorrow [CD2]
Better Best Forgotten [CD1]
Love's Got a Hold on My Heart [CD2]
Say You'll Be Mine / Better the Devil You Know [CD - Jewel case]
Here and Now / You'll Be Sorry [CD1]
Chain Reaction [CD2]
Baby Don't Dance [CD] [size=1](So rare and expensive though, I doubt I would ever get this)

Apart from DJ CD2, I don't have any other H & Claire singles or even their album. I don't have any Lisa Scott-Lee releases (shame on me!) or the Faye Tozer duet single.

Maybe someday I'll try and fill in those gaps ^

There's other Steps books I don't own from the 90s/00s, but I'm not too fussed about those. I should probably get Claire Richards' autobiography at some point!

A big gap in my collection is Steps VHS and/or DVDs of their tours from their heyday.

Posted by: spiceboy 17th April 2021, 05:21 PM

Oooh what a collection I don’t really have a steps collection I have the odd single but generally just bought the albums.

Posted by: pippa 17th April 2021, 08:27 PM

The collection you own is huge.
I have 75% of their cd singles and all of their studio albums including their Greatest Hits releases.

Posted by: spiceboy 17th April 2021, 09:43 PM

I might still have their Buzz tour VHS and The Next Step Live Live Live VHS if you want them for your collection Jay?

What an incredible collection, Ghosty! wub.gif It seems like you own everything there is to own, in terms of UK releases?


When it comes to their singles, I will always think that it's a bit of a shame that they were inconsistent with whether they'd just release one CD or do a two CD set.

Heartbeat/Tragedy clearly did amazingly with one CD format, but I would have loved for there to be a second CD with Tragedy video themed artwork. I also feel the same for When I Said Goodbye/Summer of Love. Summer of Love is such a colourful, summery and uptempo bop - it was worthy of more suitable artwork. The shot from the When I Said Goodbye is pretty much the antithesis of Summer of Love's mood lol. I don't think it was a great decision to make When I Said Goodbye the "main" song from that Double A Side... I'd say that Summer of Love went on to be the more celebrated song in the fan base, and more well known to the public.

Beyond those two singles, the other releases that only had one CD are - 5,6,7,8, After the Love Has Gone, Say You'll Be Mine/Better the Devil You Know (this did have two CDs, but bizarrely they were different formats with the same track listing), Deeper Shade of Blue, Stomp, It's the Way You Make Me Feel, Words Are Not Enough/I Know Him So Well.

I always wonder what made labels decide "this single only requires 1 CD" and "let's make this one a two CD set"... it's so inconsistent!

Posted by: Ghosty. 20th April 2021, 03:40 PM

Thanks Jay. I probably am missing a fair few UK releases, but it was my aim to try and get the vast majority of the officially released formats in the UK.

It's certainly an interesting talking point with regards to the decision to release one CD single or two, and I agree, it is a shame that so many of their releases had just the one CD single - it probably would have got them at least another number one hit with It's The Way You Make Me Feel had there been 2 CDs, and elevated some of the others to more deserving chart positions than they achieved.

I can't figure out what influenced the decisions myself. Apart from 5,6,7,8, all of the singles should have had 2 CD treatment - one with a b-side and instrumental and one with remixes.

Posted by: spiceboy 20th April 2021, 09:56 PM

It's truly bizarre they didn't all get the 2 CD treatment (bar 5678)... I wonder what their reasoning was... did they not want Steps to get the best possible chart position?

My original The Last Dance was the flip case type one, but I lost it along with others when we did renovations at home in 2005. I had to replace it with the plastic jewel case.

My Party (live) and WTFH cd arrived today :cheer;

Also got a hold on the Japanese version of ‘5,6,7,8’ but there seems to be a problem with the stocking sad.gif Also planning on ordering the LUTW cd.

Have you been buying something recently?

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 1st January 2023, 03:13 PM

If steps were to release physical singles for future releases they would be great to add to our collections, but what price do you think would be reasonable for them to charge,.?

Posted by: pippa 1st January 2023, 04:31 PM

The £2 cd singles recently released by some artists were very good value. £5 for vinyl single would be an attractive price to encourage people to buy them.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 1st January 2023, 05:16 PM

If people are to buy into them again the price will be a big factor, i was always a huge fan of singles especially if i was getting a new b side and i would easily buy singles again if they released and affordable.

Posted by: Hazelnuts 2nd January 2023, 04:49 PM

Depends!

If it’s a ‘regular’ release I’m fine with 2 pounds but a special box (like TOTD) costing more is fine by me.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 2nd January 2023, 05:27 PM

I really liked the TOTD singles release and would like that again, I was sure tgey would do it with WTFH aswell, a singles boost from both albums I would have liked.

Posted by: Hazelnuts 2nd January 2023, 07:35 PM

I would have loved a WTFH set from both albums heart.gif And I wouldn’t mind paying some extra money.

It would e been such a nice touch to get them. It’s a little disappointing I think.

Posted by: Yobnedor 3rd January 2023, 03:06 AM

I don’t think they’ve been quite as *on it* for the WTFH singles as they were for the TOTD ones.

That being said, they’ve still gone way over and above anything I expected and they still put Spice Girls to shame.

Haha true.

Could it be a record label thing? As the TOTD ones were independent weren’t they?

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 3rd January 2023, 02:59 PM

I'd say it could be record label decision but I'd be surprised if bmg don't cotton on to the fact that vinyl singles have big potential. Bmg are usually very good at taking advantage of the physical market.

Good point, BMG are usually pretty good with that type of thing. We did get plenty of options for the Platinum Collection and WTFH pt2

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 5th January 2023, 12:39 AM

They went all out on both those releases with physicals so hopefully the next album is the same along with some physicals singles. I think this year will see a few more artists release vinyl singles to test the water which may open up something for Steps whenever they make their return.

I was expecting a singles boxset from both WTFH eras, it's a shame they didn't do it. I believe a fan asked Faye during one of the signings and she was a bit "what the hell" about it so don't think it was on any of their radars tbh.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 6th January 2023, 12:39 AM

Based on Fayes reaction it shows it was something that was never even considered.

Posted by: One_For_Sorrow 16th January 2023, 06:48 AM

I had a photo that I took of my collection at the time (December 28, 2001). I remember as that’s the day I heard Steps had split. I’m not sure if I even still have the photo, I’ll need to try and track in down.

Posted by: Hazelnuts 16th January 2023, 10:02 AM

Oh, would be nice to see OFS!

Hoping my Steptacular Malaysian edition arrives today.,

Posted by: One_For_Sorrow 16th January 2023, 06:45 PM

Thanks Hazelnuts, I’ll need to see if I can track the photo down. It’ll be in a cupboard full of old photos if I still have it.

Posted by: Lee_his_cheeks 17th February 2023, 10:40 AM

Ugh, all of my special editions got canceled.

Instead I got the WTFH pt2, Tears on the dancefloor (deluxe) and Party on the dancefloor cd’s.

Latest update!

Posted by: -Jay- 10th March 2023, 10:05 AM

A fantastic collection!

I don't think I ever knew that there was a 'Best of Steps' CD. I see it was for the US/Canada markets and that it omits a few of the singles! ohmy.gif

Posted by: Lee_his_cheeks 10th March 2023, 10:39 AM

Thanks 😊

It was an interesting release because they never took off in the States. Funny enough I saw this at a local site and could get it quite easy for a normal price.

And..there’s more to look out for and add to the collection claire.png So if someone has a good tip..let me know 😊

Posted by: One_For_Sorrow 11th March 2023, 08:56 PM

Nice update. Was it just the Best Of added?

Posted by: Lee_his_cheeks 12th March 2023, 02:36 PM

Thanks smile.gif

I added these to the collection since last time:
• The platinum collection box (with their first 3 albums).
• Tears on the dancefloor cd (crying at the disco version).
• Party on the dancefloor cd.
• What the future holds pt. 2 cd (regular version).

Think as, impressive.

Are you missing anything?

Also all you need now is for the first the albums to get the vinyl treatment!

Posted by: Lee_his_cheeks 14th March 2023, 09:46 AM

Thanks smile.gif

Everything that’s not on the picture wink.gif It’s very hard to get Steps items here but I would love to get my hands on Light up the world, Platinum Collection (picture) disc and LGAHOMH cd2.

I would love for that to happen heart.gif

Any other collection updates?

Posted by: One_For_Sorrow 14th March 2023, 07:19 PM

Nice, so just a few then. Did you have the Australian version of Steptacular? It had the two extra songs.

Posted by: Lee_his_cheeks 14th March 2023, 07:28 PM

Sadly I don’t. I was lucky that I got a hold on the Australian Stomp.

Do you have wishes concerning your collection?

Ah cool, yeah lucky you got the Australian version of Stomp. smile.gif
I can see Steptacular on our eBay store at the moment.

No wishes for mine now, I stopped collecting a while back. When we did renovations in 2005 a lot of my old stuff got mistakenly given away. sad.gif

Haven’t bothered to replace it since sadly.

Posted by: Lee_his_cheeks 17th March 2023, 10:38 AM

Yes, was in contact with an Australian fan who send me the single!

Oh, sorry to hear that! Did you had a lot?

Actually I don’t think anything was different. Steptacular, Buzz and Gold were different though.

I ordered the OFS cassette and LGAHOMH cd2 cheer.gif Hopefully they will arrive soon!


Posted by: One_For_Sorrow 25th December 2023, 07:42 PM

Nice!!

Are you missing many items now?

Posted by: Lee_his_cheeks 26th December 2023, 10:02 AM

Also DSOB cassette and Something in your eyes/Hundred years of winter promo.

I got a nice basis but now I’m hunting for some more items claire.png

Posted by: One_For_Sorrow 26th December 2023, 07:04 PM

Oh nice, hopefully you get the ones you’re hunting.

Posted by: Lee_his_cheeks 26th December 2023, 08:24 PM

EBay from my own experience has always been reliable and great at times for bargains.

Posted by: Padamic Tension 28th December 2023, 03:39 PM

I just started looking on ebay to see what prices are like and ended up buying the Something in Your Eyes - Upfront Brand New 4 Remix Brazilian Cd Promo which was priced decently, including postage was just shy of €15.
The 5,6,7,8 Collection is available at great prices, i have it myself as it has a very decent track listing but for anyone looking for it its going cheap as are some of their older cd singles and their first 3 albums on cd.

Posted by: Lee_his_cheeks 31st December 2023, 10:06 AM

EBay is better for me as the first cassette (OFS) arrived yesterday cheer.gif

I also ordered OFS cd2 (and trying hard not to order everything there that I don’t have in my collection claire.png )

Posted by: Padamic Tension 31st December 2023, 02:49 PM

Ebay is very addictive once you start looking, I'm really bad for going on with the intension of buying a cd single I'm missing for example and end up buying at least 5 others. My wife kills me when she sees the bill ohmy.gif

Posted by: Lee_his_cheeks 31st December 2023, 03:15 PM

Posted by: One_For_Sorrow 4th January 2024, 07:01 PM

Nice. I didn’t realise a promo was made for HYOW. I, guessing they’re rare.

Me too now that I received them..

(And I still need a singlebox from those though…)

My latest update smile.gif And LUTW (cd) and SYBM with poster are on their way cheer.gif

@Jay, IMGUR works for me again

Posted by: Lee_his_cheeks 27th January 2024, 08:38 PM

Not to spam this topic but I ordered some more stuff! I love getting more stuff heart.gif

I got Steptacular (2-cd), SYBM cd2, What the future holds/the slightest touch promos and some cardboard versions of some of the singles claire.png


Posted by: One_For_Sorrow 27th January 2024, 08:42 PM

Nice!

Do you have the WTFH Live CD/DVD or the Australian version of Steptacular? (Though that one on,y has two additional songs to the UK one).

Posted by: Lee_his_cheeks 29th January 2024, 08:44 PM

I don’t have the WTFH cd/dvd yet as it’s a bit too expensive for me atm. I either receive the Hongkong or Malaysian version of Steptacular.

(And I got the Japanese SYBM single today cheer.gif)

Posted by: Lee_his_cheeks 30th April 2024, 08:16 AM

No problem! It was a bidding on EBay and I got it for 18 pounds. For me, including shipping etc, it was around €47.

Yes cheer.gif I really wanted this one so happy I finally got a copy. Now I only need Baby don’t dance!

No its been a while for me as i didnt go for the deeper shade of blue release due to the pricing.

Posted by: Lee_his_cheeks 31st May 2024, 10:19 AM

I understand!

I finally received the Japanese ‘5,6,7,8’ EP and the ‘What the future holds’ live album. I also got their live album (from 2012) on it’s way.

Now I only need the BDD single!

Posted by: One_For_Sorrow 31st May 2024, 10:24 AM

Dose Baby Don’t Dance appear often for purchase?

Since I’ve been on EBay (for some months) I saw the BDD single once.

I agree, it is my least favourite of all three, although I got a nice enough one I guess. I was tempted to damage it and return it amazon replacing it with a neon one lol but too scared in case I get caught laugh.gif

I think I lucked out with the swirl vinyls. Mine don’t actually look too bad!
