Can someone with more knowledge than I, create a link from the, often mis-quoted, reference of "Althia & Donna" ? The alternative spelling does already appear - more than once - elsewhere in Wikipedia. Thanks,

The existence of the alternate spelling may well derive from Top of the Pops. In recent weeks BBC Four has transmitted four TOTP shows featuring or at least mentioning A&D. In the first two of these (when they were placed respectively 2 and 1 in the chart) they were captioned in the chart rundown with the 'e' spelling, the next two (placed respectively 3 and 7) with the 'i' spelling. Given that the alteration occurred 'towards' the 'i' spelling, I would take a long deep breath before assuming which spelling is the wrong one. Harfarhs ( talk) 18:01, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
The label of the single uses the "Althia & Donna" spelling. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.44.231.217 ( talk) 22:49, 16 November 2013 (UTC)
I created redirects for Up Town Top Ranking and Uptown Top Ranking to lead to this page, but as the song is on a list of requested Wikipedia articles, it may still be appropriate to make a separate page for the song. Do so at your leisure! -- Grace 07:32, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
Title says everything. Sadly the german Wikipedia couldn't provide any source but I'm interested in hearing that track. Maybe it goes by a different title and not "Uptown Top Ranking"..? I couldn't find the track on any of Portisheads CDs which were released before the year 2000. Neither could i find any remix with that title. -- 193.247.17.17 ( talk) 14:45, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
Does anyone have any idea what kind of activity "Top Ranking" might have been? Could it have been anything to do with Top Rank Records? -- 188.28.249.199 ( talk) 15:08, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
Nothing to do with Top Rank records or 'uptown areas' of town. It means going to one of a chain of nightclubs that were popular in the UK at that time. /info/en/?search=Top_Rank_Suite Robert P Connolly ( talk) 09:10, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
I feel certain that I once heard broadcast a version of 'Uptown..' that was noticeably rougher and earthier than the chart version (but still credited to A&D). Perhaps this was a demo, in which case the radio presenter may have had privileged access to it; but does anyone else recall this, and if so whether it was released in any format?
