THE SUPERIORS - STEP BY STEP (NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK)

Here's the Rare Promo/Demo Original Version of "Step By Step" by "The Superiors " from 1987 issued on "Motown Records" to which Writter/Producer "Maurice Starr " of this went onto have a Global Pop Hit when the "New Kids On The Block " covered it a couple of years later !!

Must give a BIG Mention/Credit to "Andrew Knyte " over @ www.njs4ever.com who put me onto this track when we wen't on a recent Vinyl Digging Trip to New York ! The look on the guy's face when he pulled this out of the rack was priceless , lol , he could'nt quite believe he was holding this promo copy in his hand . Unfortunately he has'nt got a record player so he gave it to me to rip onto cd . Enjoy My Friend this one is for you !!! :)

We're proud to be playing NEW music from The Superiors (now known as Ambient) on Fullasoul Radio! BTW, nice post, Stevie...this one's hard to find!

i also had the pleasure of asking a few members what did they think of some fans saying that the nkotb version is better, and the respones was, well it should be seeing where it is a remake, we can do it over now and it will sound better than both versions theirs and ours, every updated version should sound better than the original because now you can add things, update music a little you know. we understand that their fans are going to stay true to them and thats fine.

Ambient are some real down to earth individuals, i asked how they feel about the nkotb, and they responded we are proud of them, no hard feelings at all, although we don't see them or talk to them much since they beacame huge, it's still all love. we did countless performances together back in the day...

They live near me. I met one of them once on the way to the trolley. He gave me a CD and publicity picture to give to WERS, where my daughter works. I honestly can't figure out why they aren't better known and appreciated. Ambient is excellent. They're so much better than New Kids.

so i recently had the pleasure of talking with several members of the group formerly known as the superiors, who now go by the name of Ambient, and it has been confirmed that the backround on the nkotb's version is actually the superiors, but they sat they dont care about that all they wish is that the nkotb had shown respect. they also state the stories we could tell would shock you...

[123myjinx]

wow thanks big trav, i know music well and i knew that was the same backround, im a white guy and a nkotb fan, but i knew that backround wasn't them. did the nkotb ever reach out to you guys, and mr. starr should be ashamed of himself. i will do everything in my power to bring this to the entire publics attention, of course nkotb fans will be biased, but i believe you guys are the better talent, and should be recognized....

Sorry but the New Kids on the Block version is better and no, the background vocals of this one and NKOTB's doesn't sound the same.
