Step Up (Flamin' Groovies album)

Step Up is a compilation album of in-studio demos recorded by the Flamin' Groovies in the San Francisco Bay Area between 1984 and 1989 and released in 1991. The demos were produced by Cyril Jordan and engineered and mixed by Karl Derfler, and the album was released shortly after the band broke up. However, after the breakup, eight of the 13 songs were reworked and remixed by Jordan and Derfler, along with removing all lead and backing vocals except for those by Jordan and Groovies' bassist George Alexander, and were then ultimately issued on the Groovies' eighth studio album Rock Juice in 1993.

Of the 13 songs on Step Up, 11 are Cyril Jordan originals; the two exceptions are "In the Land of the Few", a 1969 song performed and co-written by Dave Edmunds (who produced the Groovies between 1972–78), and "Milk Cow Blues", an old Kokomo Arnold song with multiple differing versions (with the Groovies sticking closest to Eddie Cochran's version).
