Step Into Christmas was a non-album single released in November 1973 (later appearing on the Rare Masters collection in 1992. In the US, the single reached #1 on the Billboard Christmas Singles chart. The song was produced by Gus Dudgeon, emulating the Phil Spector “wall of sound” style, and recorded at Morgan Studios in London.
The video shows the Elton John Band – with current members Davey Johnstone on guitar and Nigel Olsson on drums, and the late Dee Murray on bass – miming to the studio recording. During the instrumental break, Elton’s lyricist Bernie Taupin can be seen “hitting” the gongs (actually played by percussionist Ray Cooper), after which Elton holds up his beloved Watford Hornets Football Club membership card.
