Another Step Picture Disc Vinyl

Demon Records are delighted to announce the next reissues from Kim Wilde039s classic MCA years on LP again for the first time in more than 35 years. Now released on 039hot039 pink vinyl and as an eyecatching picture disc for the first time, Another Step was Kim039s fifth studio album, first released in November 1986. It includes the US charttopping hit single 039You Keep Me Hangin039 On039, a UK No. 2 for two weeks, it was kept from the peak by Berlin with 039Take My Breath Away Love Theme From Top Gun039. This was followed into the charts by 039Another Step Closer To You039 UK No. 6, a duet with Junior Giscombe, and 039Say You Really Want Me039 UK No. 29, the latter also included on the soundtrack of the 1986 actioncomedy film Running Scared. 039Schoolgirls039 was released as a single in Australia, and mainland Europe. Both formats now come with the bonus track 039Victim039, originally only included on cassette and CD versions of the album. The presence of British Soul singer Junior points to the broader influences on Another Step, which sees Kim move away from the synthpop sound that marked her earlier releases, introducing elements of RampB and Rock. This new direction includes the use of a brass section on the uptempo 039Hit Him039, and a trio of female backing singers on the ballad 039How Do You Want My Love039. While Ricky Wilde still handled most of the production duties, new recruits to the technical team included Rod Temperton writer of hits for Heatwave, Michael Jackson, and George Benson, among others, Richard James Burgess previously with Landscape, then producer for Spandau Ballet, New Edition, and Five Star, plus additional keyboards from Dire Straits039 Guy Fletcher.
