[@wandamorel578]

Steam is a part of my teenager's music, my brother offered me this album for my birthday i was 10, i'm happy lisening it now i'm 62. I return in my insouciant days. I'm French so in 1969 i was an ET because i was especially lisening Elvis Presley and a lot of American and English singers. All my friends doesn't knowed this kind of music.

In Algeria at that time I was between 7 to 9 years old in 1969. We were up to date of all kind of music, and art. We did have and used to listen to all kind of Music. From the Beatles, to Steam, the Doors, the Moody Blues, the Aphrodite's Child, Shocking blues, the Bee Gees, the Adieu Jolie Candy, Je t'appartiens et je reviens te chercher de Becaud, Sherley Bassey, David Mc Williams, with his song Days of pearly Spence, Diana Ross and the Supreme, Otis Redding etc. etc. etc. I think, that these happy days were the best time, the humanity have ever lived.

Hi Google+ friends, Was surf-in this morning came across this Steam CD and have to say how pleasantly surprised I am at how good this LP actually was and is. As a child, I grew up in a poor family and we could rarely afford to buy an entire LP but we did have the singles of "Na Na Hey Hey Hey + I've Gotta Make You Love Me on Fontana & Mercury Records. We loved those songs, and we still do. Listen to this LP, it is well worth the listen. The track "Come On Back And Love Me" is quite good. The only problem I had with the CD is that each track is faded up. I"m searching for a near mint vinyl of the LP on eBay now. Wish me Luck! Thanks for this Marvelous upload George.

[@markhernandez1209]

Just picked up this vinyl 33, today at garage sale for$2. Mint condition. Great album

[@Music4allofU]

@@markhernandez1209 that’s really awesome Mark. I assume it is on Fontana records?

[@SuperBenblake]

I know how indebted this album and these songs are to Motown and I love Motown, but I love Steam this is damned fine and great like the perfect pop soul perfected by those masters Holland/Dozier/Holland!

[@glannapolisteam8681]

I agree. Very Motown-ish! Interestingly, the Supremes (w/Jean Terrell on lead) did a version of NA NA HEY HEY on their 2nd post-Diana Ross album. I think they did a good job with the song.

[@jeanniecollige2360]

I love all these songs

Since seven of the original ten songs from this album were released on singles, either as an A or a B side, it was a good idea to include the mono single versions as bonus songs here. I notice however, that 'What I'm Saying Is True' isn't here. It's often listed as the A side to their fourth single BUT since it wasn't on the original album it was probably the B side. The album song, I'm the One Who Loves You' would then be the A side. This 45 was from 1970 and so was their next (and last) single, which featured two non-album songs, 'Don't Stop Lovin' Me/Do Unto Others' (Mercury 73117). I notice that these are included here as bonus songs.

[@joaochaves1227]

The single in Brazil Na Na.../what I'm.. is a 33 rpm single

[@SoSwoll]

Love this album! My brother bought it years ago. I think the lead vocals on Kiss Him Goodbye was a dude named Garrett something, who was not a band member. Thanks for uploading!!

[@PaperbackWriter92]

Gary DeCarlo was his real name and turns out he passed away in 2017. Apparently he also went on to have a failed solo career where he also used the name Garrett Scott. You know those PBS oldies concerts that go by the name "My Music"? They're produced by a man named TJ Lubinsky who has done a huge service for music of days past by finding these artists for his shows. Lately they've been re-running the one on the 60s called Pop, Rock, and Soul from 2011. You might be able to find it on your listings if you check the guide at the right time. It had different artists perform such as Peter Noone from Herman's Hermits, Gary Lewis and the Playboys, etc. Anyway, that's how I learned his name because the announcer (who I believe was Peter Noone for that part) referred to him as Gary and not Garrett.

[@SoSwoll]

@@PaperbackWriter92 Im just seeing this now for some reason. Thanks for the info!

Best album of 1969

[@vladimirgaponov5325]

Best Pop album...

[@TamasSzabo-ql6wf]

I saw this album ín Mammut Plaza. (Budapest) 2021. IT was too expensive. 4200ft.

[@joegiersher507]

Where is the non-LP single, "What I'm Saying Is True"? It was Steam's 3rd single, released in early 1970 b/w "I"m The One Who Loves You", a song from the album. The other non-LP songs are included here, Don't Stop Lovin Me and Do Unto Others, A and B sides from the 4th and last single.

Mercury album steam 1969

Martin Circus...

[@JANXDPDX]

it's a band of studio musicians with a flimsy persona......there is a lot of solid fun here, but gets repetitive at times...at least they were doing this in 1970 and not 1978

[@JANXDPDX]

the album cover is half the mystique....

[@frizzlefrap]

I thought a black group sang this .... originally? ..... doesn't sound like a white group .... at all ....... allllll these years and I was fooled ...... learn something new ..... everyday

[@alfredodedarc]

+frizzlefrap Paul Leka, from the group that did 'Quick Joey Small', a bubblegum hit, was the leading force behind Steam. He did a lot of songwriting and producing for the label and groups such as The Lemon Pipers, Ohio Express, 1910 Fruitgum Company, etc. What was not included on this CD was the song What I am Saying Is True [available elsewhere on KZbin, which is a virtual clone of Na Na Hey Hey en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubblegum_pop

[@tiekbane]

I've heard this song for 47 years. I just discovered they're white. And the singer is a man. Wow.

[@karloff604]

Music has no color--that's the great thing about it!

[@linusr.5153]

Until I saw Celine Dion I thought She was black all the time
