Very happy she sold well that means more music. Claire’s debut album was proof that can’t be taken for granted. Also, what does ‘more music’ mean exactly once broken down? Another album of covers (or originals in the style of the “Euphoria” material)? Originals would inevitably mean flights to Sweden and sessions with Biff Stannard (who’s gonna pay for that)? Demon, who atypically generate 3000 sales (per release) from major label licensed re-issues primarily aimed at old gays? Plus when Steps debut at No. 2 it means sales of somewhere in the region of 20 k (when Claire does it translates as sales in the region of 7 k)! How much money can realistically be generated when a high PRS share (royalties) goes to those classic and rarely seen writers behind every track (leaving Claire with no PRS). I would like to discover next Friday that the album has not dropped like a stone to No. 451, but if it does are Demon going to retain Claire under contract (or let her go, like Sony did last time)? Claire needs to be very careful what she does next, otherwise another album in the same vein as “Euphoria”, might just tip her in to Jane McDonald/ Hazell Dean/ Nicki French territory on some Energize records type deal (and her vocal chords are literal gold), she’s way too good for touring regional gay clubs doing P.A’s, lip syncing to 7th Heaven remixes whilst some twink gets his life sucking off door staff down the back stairwell!

I don't have all of them I am missing 4 tracks. Someone is trying to monetize Claire downloads on Dbree (that are dropping anyway). Would you happen to know anything about that?

I’ll never leak anything I have. 52 minutes ago, Dax Diameter said: So Emotional - Steve Anderson Demo (Snippet) ..

Dax Diameter Posted October 19, 2023 Author Share Posted October 19, 2023 (edited) Boutique label Plastic Pop Records have released a deluxe edition of Lisa Scott-Lee’s only solo album “Never Or Now” from 2007, which failed to receive a UK release at the time. (Instead only being released in The Netherlands, South Africa, China and Canada). Lisa has always been the most dedicated member of Steps and this re-release is apparently selling quite well. Grab your copy now whilst signed editions are still available. Signed Deluxe 2xCD I got mine on import years ago originally but this new edition finally gives it the official, debut U.K. release it was originally scheduled to have. This edition contains some previously unreleased and sought after tracks on the second disc: Full List of Format & Merch Options The Videos: Spoiler “Lately”: “Too Far Gone”: [Non Album Single] ”Get It On” (Intenso Project feat.

Heartbreak Anthem Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Never or Now was a solid album, but this Unleashed deluxe, in tribute to the album's original album title? Amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BraveNewSeth Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 This is probably wishful thinking, but does anyone have the OG files of the leaked songs from Lisa’s debut album Unleashed? Specifically High and Tonomatic. I can find most of them on DBREE but not those two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dax Diameter Posted August 19 Author Share Posted August 19 (edited) Nineties girl/ boy group Deuce who were a precursor and forerunners to Steps (yet never held on long enough to rival them 😢), have now reformed and are currently undergoing a revival due to the upcoming re-pack of their 1995 album “Deuce On The Loose!”. The original lineup of Kelly, Craig, Lisa and Paul will be together live for the first time in 29 years with a live appearance in London on Saturday 7th September consisting of a conversation, Q&A and photo opportunities to celebrate the re-release of their album. Steps would shortly go on to recycle the video treatment from Deuce’s “On The Bible” video (with their “Tragedy” cover video) and borrow elements from the “No Surrender” video (in the video for “One For Sorrow”).

Dax Diameter Posted August 30 Author Share Posted August 30 Today marks the re-release of what in spiritual terms marks the blueprint of Steps, containing the original Lisa (who went on to marry then later divorce Ant McPartlin of Ant and Dec fame). If you were a twink then, this is your day to light a candle, resurrect your best sting vest/ silver trousers combo and rejoice in that moment in time.
