Another Step Édition Limitée Picture Disc

Description

Demon Records is excited to announce the upcoming reissues of Kim Wilde's classic albums on MCA, back on LP for the first time in over 35 years. Released today on vibrant pink vinyl and an eye-catching picture disc for the first time, Another Step was Kim's fifth studio album, first released in November 1986. It includes the American hit single "You Keep Me Hangin' On," which reached number 2 in the UK for two weeks, but was kept from the top spot by Berlin's "Take My Breath Away (Love Theme From Top Gun)." This was followed in the charts by "Another Step (Closer To You)" (No. 6 in the UK), a duet with Junior (Giscombe), and "Say You Really Want Me" (No. 29 in the UK), the latter also featured on the soundtrack of the 1986 action-comedy film Running Scared. "Schoolgirls" was released as a single in Australia and continental Europe. Both formats now come with the bonus track "Victim," originally included only on cassette and CD versions of the album. The presence of British soul singer Junior reflects the broader influences on Another Step, which sees Kim moving away from the synth-pop sound that characterized her previous releases, introducing elements of R&B and Rock. This new direction includes the use of a brass section on the fast-paced track "Hit Him," as well as a trio of female backing vocalists on the ballad "How Do You Want My Love." While Ricky Wilde still handled most of the production duties, the new recruits to the technical team included Rod Temperton (writer of hits for Heatwave, Michael Jackson, and George Benson, among others), Richard James Burgess (formerly of Landscape, then producer for Spandau Ballet, New Edition, and Five Star), as well as additional keyboards from Guy Fletcher of Dire Straits.
