Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Countless tribute and sound-a-like bands have had various stabs at mimicking the magic of ABBA. Of the bunch, Steps have been the most successful in their attempts to nurture a similar ABBA-esque musical style and image. It comes as no surprise that Steps should call their "best of" anthology Gold, just like the bestselling "best of" from their Swedish heroes. The ABBA influences can be heard right from their earliest material--"One For Sorrow" to "After The Love Has Gone" (October 1999), through to newer compositions such as "Baby Don't Dance" (an updated version of "Voulez-Vous?"). Released at the peak of the line-dancing craze in the UK, their thigh-slapping debut "5,6,7,8" thus sounds remarkably out of place. Proving that they're no puppets of Mr Waterman, the Euro-pop style "Only In My Dreams" is the first song written by Steps as a group. Their cover of Diana Ross's 1986 number one "Chain Reaction" looks destined, along with "Tragedy" and the 70s disco inspired hit "Stomp", to become the songs which future generations will best remember Claire, Faye, Lisa, H and Lee for. --John Galilee


CD Description

Of the twenty tracks on this collection, fifteen have reached the top 5 of the UK singles charts. 'Gold' also includes their first single '5678', alongside three previously unreleased tracks 'Words Are Not Enough', 'Baby Don't Dance' and 'Only In My Dreams'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! What A Journey!, 24 Sep 2001
By A Customer
They started off as a "one hit wonder, line dancing, novelty act" when 5678 brewed up a storm.

And now look at them. Chain Reaction looks set to blast into the top 5 - giving them 12 in a row! So - is it too early for a greatest hits? Quite simply - no! They have had 18 singles counting Chain Reaction (which does raise the question of why You'll Be Sorry was missed out off the album) - plus three new ones especially for the Greatest Hits CD.

The album features all of their well known tunes from the dancey Deeper Shade Of Blue and Here And Now - through to the cheesy Last Thing On My Mind and 5678, and the power ballads When I Said Goodbye, Heartbeat and Its The Way You Make Me Feel. And who could forget Tragedy?! Theie first number one which has done over one million copies!

So here is to a career of a band - who although are only four years old - have given us one heck of a Greatest Hits!

5.0 out of 5 stars best pop album of the year, 8 Nov 2001
By A Customer
This album goes to show that Steps are the best when it comes to pop music. Full with all the old his and the recent Chain Reaction as well as Three new songs added this album will have you dancing from start to finish. This album shows how Steps have gone from strength to strengh since releasing 5,6,7,8 in 1997 and were dismissed as 1 hit wonders. lets hope Steps are here for many years to come if this album Steps!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars My favourite album of all time!, 29 Sep 2003
By J. McKay "teenage_tree_hugger" (Falkirk, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
I bought "Gold" a few days after its release in October 2001, just before the fab five went their separate ways, and I still haven't got tired of listening to it. In my opinion, every Steps single is a pop classic and if you didn't fancy buying their earlier albums but liked their singles, this album is for you. Every Steps single is included here, except their groovy disco-esque track "You'll be sorry". That doesn't really matter, however, as there are 20 superb songs that will distract you from that!

It was probably only fitting that "Tragedy" should kick off the album - it was the gang's first UK no. 1 alongside "Heartbeat" and has the most famous dance routine ever. Following this super-cheesy but brilliant track are two of my personal Steps faves, "One for sorrow" and "Stomp", and countless other pop corkers that'll have you leaping from your seat and boogying away before you know it (if "Tragedy" didn't manage to get you dancing already, that is!). All of the tracks on "Gold" have this quality, apart from the three beautiful ballads at the end of the album, "Words are not enough", "When I said goodbye" and "Heartbeat", a true favourite with Steps fans everywhere. Even the new tracks, "Baby don't dance" and "Only in my dreams", the latter especially, are surprisingly good, although "Baby don't dance" had to grow on me as it lacks a bit in the lyrics department.

If you are a die-hard pop lover, you NEED this album for your collection as all these tracks have wonderful singing and excellent, cheesy, happy, backing music that real pop fans like me crave. I guarantee that if you buy this album, it will not leave your CD player unless someone takes a sledgehammer to it and you dive in to rescue Steps' amazing Greatest Hits collection, endangering your own life in the process! I know I would do that for this CD.
