Step in the Name of Love Remix - original 2003 full presentation

Chocolate Factory - original 2003 program and separate remixes
The original program separately identifies Step in the Name of Love and its approximately 7:12 remix in 2003.

Neither the shorter original Step recording nor a radio edit is counted as an additional selection. | Reviewed 2026-10-18
Step in the Name of Love Remix - later radio edit
The separately labeled remix radio edit is dated October 2003. This is edition evidence; it does not replace the earlier full remix year or establish the edition of the retained annual entry. | Reviewed 2026-10-18
Annual version match under review
The selected recording has release evidence, but its version has not been matched to the retained annual entry. It is omitted from Beyond the yearly lists until this match is resolved.
The full approximately 7:12 remix, the shorter original recording and the separately labeled remix radio edit are different presentations. The actual annual entry omits a version qualifier, so the reviewed remix remains provisional.
