^ You're welcome! I wonder why they've leaked now... the Steps vault has been sealed for years and now we get these out of nowhere.

Enjoying both of these, Long Way Home in particular.

I’d love that to get a proper release, even as an album track.

I've read on Popjustice that there's also been quite a few Claire song leaks:

If I Can't Have You
Knock On Wood
2 versions of Sweet Freedom
Snippet of So Emotional Demo
Snippet of Let Love Come To Me

Wow! I wonder what's triggered this all of a sudden.

Listening back to these both now properly they'd have fitted well onto Gold back in 2001 and even a new album in 2002.

It was considered as a follow up single to 5,6,7,8 and continue the “line dance artist” thing, before they went in a different direction!

Crikey at Stompin', if they'd gone with that after 5,6,7,8 it would have been the end of a short-lived novelty career in the vein of Vanilla I think. It sounds like one of Pete's 80s rejects. Thank god for the idea to turn them into 'ABBA on speed' instead and Last Thing On My Mind. What a Sliding Doors moment I've just had listening to that.

What era were the first two songs from? I like Long Way Home, it's like a cross between (I Just) Died In Your Arms and Alcazar's early material.

Long Way Home is supposedly from the Buzz era, while No Easy Way to Say Goodbye is a Gold reject!

I'm not sure if this is actually true, but I read on Popjustice that the Demon label* was apparently working on a Rare & Unreleased Steps album "about a decade ago", but scrapped it. As well as those two songs, it was also set to include these songs:

- Nothing at All
- No Matter What You Say
- If I Could Say the Words
- All or Nothing
- Endless Moment

Interesting if it's true and I wonder why the kibosh was put on it?

* The label that is releasing the first three Steps albums on vinyl

Stompin’ ohmy.gif

I’m very happy they went the other way! It’s not terrible, but I don’t think their career would’ve lasted that long indeed!


My ratings atm:

No easy way to say goodbye 7/10 (very Britney album track)
Long way home 7.5/10 (Typical Steps)
Stompin’ 5.5/10 (not bad but very gimmicky)


And that Rare & Unreleased album would’ve been interesting!

Agree with others, ditching Stompin’ was the right call. It’s not a terrible song, I just think it’d have done worse chart and sales wise than 5,6,7,8 did.

It is nice hearing (I presume Lee) on vocals again.

That’s interesting if true. Would’ve been really nice if it had’ve happened.

Ooh another one, they’re coming quite fast now. I wonder if there’s any more?

Will give this a proper listen soon.

Not a bad idea. I wouldn’t rule it out.

It might be an unpopular opinion but I’d be happy for that.

This is a list of their unreleased tracks that I found a while ago on their GenSteps Track database

All Or Nothing - A demo recorded before the release of Gold Greatest Hits, the track has not been commercially released.
Close To Me - Performed live by Lee on the Gold Greatest Hits tour but overdubbed with a studio recording for the End Of The Road DVD.
Come On Get Together - Performed live by Lee on the Steptacular tour but overdubbed with a studio recording for the live@wembley.2000 VHS.
Dance Ranch - Confirmed to exist in an August 2022 YouTube video, Dance Ranch was another demo considered for release as a follow-up to 5, 6, 7, 8.
Long Way Home - A demo recorded before the release of Gold Greatest Hits, the track has not been commercially released but was later recorded by Charlotte Perrelli.
Mirror, Mirror - Recorded by Steps but never released. The track was confirmed to exist when H posted an image of a CD-R featuring the track online.
No Easy Way To Say Goodbye - A demo recorded before the release of Gold Greatest Hits, the track has not been commercially released.
R Dancing - Performed live by Faye on the Steptacular tour but overdubbed with a studio recording for the live@wembley.2000.
Run To You - Recorded by Steps but never released. The track was confirmed to exist in a magazine interview.
Stompin' - Stompin' was considered as a follow-up single to 5, 6, 7, 8 but was shelved in favour of Last Thing On My Mind. The track was eventually recorded and released by the Fast Food Rockers.
