Not a confirmed thing, but in anticipation of their next era they have re-released two of their former albums with previously unheard tracks;

The additional remixes on the last dance were actually included on stomp all night - the remix anthology which came out in 2016.

It's rather random of Sony to rejig & add to The Last Dance's track list after 18 years!

A Love to Last (B Side from Last Thing on My Mind)

Notably there's two tracks from the original 'The Last Dance' that are omitted from the updated track list:

 

I Know Him So Well [it's now included in the updated version of 'Gold: Greatest Hits']

Mars and Venus (We Fall in Love Again) (W.I.P.) [it can be found on 'The Collection', even though it isn't tagged as being a remix]

 

 

--------------------

 

As for 'Gold: Greatest Hits', these tracks are new additions to the track list:

 

You'll Be Sorry (The Pardon Mix) [Also included on 'The Collection']

I Know Him So Well [Previously included on 'The Last Dance' / Also included on 'The Collection' and 'The Ultimate Collection']

Merry Xmas Everybody (W.I.P.) [This is the version included, even though it isn't tagged as being a remix / Also included on 'The Collection' and 'The Last Dance']

W.I.P. Megamix [Previously included on 'The Collection']

 

... and all the Karaoke songs, which were all previously included on 'The Ultimate Collection: Tour Edition'.

 

Rather annoyingly, You'll Be Sorry (The Pardon Mix) is missing the first 7 seconds of the track (on both The Collection and Gold)! A pity that Sony failed to notice this when they added it to Gold.

It's rather random of Sony to rejig & add to The Last Dance's track list after 18 years!

 

Well, isn't it just for streaming and downloading? I assume that doing this will essentially help "sales" for these compilations rather than to just have them scattered individually. My assumption is that they were going to put these tracks up on streaming either way, so might as well tack it onto some existing releases...

 

Happy to see some of those remixes available to stream, especially the Simon Hill mix of Heartbeat and the Matt Pop's Old Skool Mix of Say You'll Be Mine, although I have the Stomp All Night CD.

They need to continue to have as much material available as possible.

Did many of you buy the last dance when released or even since.

I purchased it back in 2003 when I randomly saw it in a HMV. It was the 2cd cardboard case edition.

A release mainly for diehards.

I’m considering downloading the expanded edition off iTunes as it has a few of the songs I’m missing.

They may consider issuing it again on physical with the extras.

I doubt that will happen, I'd say there would more chance of their first 3 albums getting reissued with extras.

That’d be amazing if they did that.

I got it as a Christmas gift, didn't even know it had been released! :lol:

With the nature of album it did ok, all factors considered.

I did not as I wasn’t bothered at the time.

 

If I can find it online for a good price I might order it to complete my collection!

Steps have been celebrating Chain Reaction for the past few days. Not only did we get the music video in HD, but there's a few performances and bonuses:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The last video is the complete chorus choreography without any cut aways!

That’s really cute actually! Would be nice if they would do this with every video :)

Here's an interview with the director of the Chain Reaction video! Also including a lot of unseen footage & outtakes from the video shoot, which is pretty amazing to after over 20 years:
