"Step on My Old Size Nines" is the third single from Welsh rock band
UK Singles Chart and number 26 in Ireland. A live acoustic version recorded at the Grand Opera House in York
, England, is on CD2 of the "Step on My Old Size Nines" single.
Background
Lead singer Kelly Jones began writing the song in May 2000. While spending a night with his friends in Birmingham, Jones played several of his new songs, during which one of his friends asked if he had written a song in open G tuning. Right before Stereophonics went to Monnow Valley Studios in Wales for a recording session, Jones wrote the entire song with this tuning in 10 minutes and recorded a demo of "Step on My Old Size Nines" at his house. Once he arrived at Monnow Valley Studios, he placed the track onto the demo CD.[2]
