Thanks for posting the info above regarding the lossy versions. I was unaware of this, and it was the shock of my life when
I just tested the "Album Version" from my copy of the "Step By Step (The Remixes)" commercial CD single to see that it's
roughly equivalent to a 128k(!) MP3.

However, some good news is that the 4:58 "Teddy Riley Remix" is lossless on this CD. The "Teddy Riley Remix" running 4:14 on
the 2-track CD single (which received some airplay) and the 4:34 "Remix" version on the The Preacher's Wife soundtrack
are simple early fades of this 4:58 version.]]> Sat, 13 Mar 2021 12:11:43 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7546&PID=57659&title=step-by-step-whitney-houston#57659 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7546&PID=57642&title=step-by-step-whitney-houston#57642 Author: Bellenger1981

Does anyone know which version was actually
predominantly played on
the radio? It seems like there were 3 different track
1's on the various promo cds (Album, Remix, Special
Radio). I don't remember which I heard on the radio.
Thanks for
any info!

I'm just bringing to everyone's attention that it appears that the released commercial versions of this song are not lossless quality. This applies to the special radio edit and album version. I am happy to report that the Vazquez remix appears lossless.

If anyone can check their copies of Ultimate Dance Party 1998 where it is on please let me know if something peaks better. The Preacher's Wife soundtrack is not any better.

This does appear to be the case, although the CD single versions fade out to 4:14, while the soundtrack version on YouTube runs 4:32. Apparently the promo CD single would've had the correct time if they had used the full remix from the soundtrack.]]> Thu, 17 May 2018 23:29:56 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7546&PID=49334&title=step-by-step-whitney-houston#49334 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7546&PID=49333&title=step-by-step-whitney-houston#49333 Author: aaronk

Here's what I have:

ASCD-3279
1. Remix (listed 4:32; actual 4:14)
2. Album Version (listed & actual 4:12)

The "Remix" on this promo is the "Teddy Riley Remix," which is confirmed in the credits on the back insert.

ASCD-3307
1. Special Radio Edit (listed 4:09; actual 4:11)
2. Album Version (listed & actual 4:12)

The "Special Radio Edit" uses the intro of the "Teddy Riley Remix," but then switches to the "Album Version" once the drums kick in at 0:38. This is also confirmed in the credits on the back insert, which read "Intro remixed by Teddy Riley..."]]> Thu, 17 May 2018 23:18:52 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7546&PID=49333&title=step-by-step-whitney-houston#49333 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7546&PID=49328&title=step-by-step-whitney-houston#49328 Author: sriv94

Any verification as to whether this is the case?]]> Thu, 17 May 2018 17:25:29 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7546&PID=49328&title=step-by-step-whitney-houston#49328 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7546&PID=38447&title=step-by-step-whitney-houston#38447 Author: Todd Ireland

The song was first performed by Annie Lennox. It was the B-side to "Precious". You can also hear Annie on backing vocals on Whitney's cover.]]> Fri, 12 Jul 2013 10:12:00 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7546&PID=38439&title=step-by-step-whitney-houston#38439
