Step Up is a compilation album of in-studio demos recorded by the

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).
