🎵 [SONG INFO]

"(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone" is a rock song written by Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart.
It was first recorded by the English band the Liverpool Five in early 1966 but remained unreleased before summer of that same year.
In the meantime, the American band Paul Revere & the Raiders recorded the song which appeared on their album Midnight Ride, released in May 1966.

The song is simple musically, with a repeating verse chord progression of E major, G major, A major, and C major, and a repeating bridge in cut time of E major, G major, A major, and G major.

It is best known as a hit for The Monkees (US no.20) (making it the first Monkees B-side to chart).
Musicians featured on the Monkees recording are: lead vocal: Micky Dolenz, backing vocal: Tommy Boyce, Guitar: Wayne Erwin, Gerry McGee, Louie Shelton, Organ: Bobby Hart, Bass: Larry Taylor, Drums: Billy Lewis, Percussion: Henry Levy.

The Monkees' version differs between the single version, stereo album version and mono album version (though all three stem from the same recording.)
The stereo version has the title being sung just before the second verse, whereas on the single and mono album versions, this part of the song is left instrumental. Additionally, the stereo version has an edit in the fadeout.
The mono album version does not have this edit and therefore has a longer coda. The single also does not have the edit, but it fades the song earlier than the mono album.
All Monkees hits compilations through the mid-1990s used the stereo version. Since the 1995 Greatest Hits collection on Rhino Records, most collections use the single version.

The song has been covered by many artists, such as
The Sex Pistols,
Vicious White Kids,
Johnny Thunders,
The Merton Parkas,
Blutgräfin,
Minor Threat,
State of Alert,
The Flies,
The Farm,
The Feminine Complex,
D.S.-13,
Six Feet Under,
Trashmen,
Hot Nasties,
Per Gessle,
The Krewmen,
Les Thugs and
W.C. Fields Memorial String Band.
It was also a hit for PJ & Duncan in 1996, when it reached number 11 on the British Singles Chart.

The song is simple musically, with a repeating verse chord progression of E Major, G Major, A Major and C Major, and a repeating bridge in cut time of E major, G major, A major, and G major.
