It was about £250 and wasn't too hard to get hold of one not so long ago, e-bay regular Try Andy Dyson, he may have one.

Nope, but where one goes the others usually there too

Totally agree Used to play this a fair bit once upon a time but it was hard work

When? I can't remember

Good to meet you Skeeny and it was a good night! Back to reality now though for a few days

while doing a bit of PC work had these blasting out the last hour or so....all from the PC as I'm in recovery mode and can't get out of the chair Jean Dushon - As I Watch You Walk Away Invitations - Look On The Good Side Kenny Smith - One More Day Beloyd - Get Into My Life Luther - Don't Wanna Be A Fool Emmanuel Laskey - I'd Rather Leave On My Feet Oliver Norman - Drowning In My Own Despair Ronny Shannon - Determination Righteous Brothers - It's Up To You Syl Johnson -Try Me Bee Jays - I'll Find You Limelights - Don't Leave Me Baby Lee Bates - You Won't Do Right Little Tommy - Lov'h M&M & The Peanuts - The Phillie Sonny Fishback - Heartbreaking Man (Slow) Big Frank Murphy - It's All Over But The Pain Four Pro's - Just Another Girl Gail Anderson - Be So Proud (You're In Love) Gary & Gary - I'm Leaving (For Parts Unkown) Harriet Laverne & Lovenotes - Can't Get Along Without You Johnny Honeycut - I'm Coming Over June Conquest - Almost Persuaded Jean Wells - With My Love And What You've Got Chris Morgan - Who Am I Chuck Henly - Broken Heart

I can never understand those that bid with 6 days to go and then a biddimg war is started and therefore inflated prices :angry: Maybe everyone should have to use a snipe tool, enter one bid only and the highest snipe bid wins, maybe bring a bit of reality back to the market

How much diid I pay??? Summat like that, can't remember who I got it off though Roy Hamilton one of the great voices IMO.

Well he now plays Butch's/Andy Dysons Belita Woods cover up, one to be avoided?

Cheapie, £15/£20 maybe less on e-bay or if you shop around.

Overtones is a hard one, few hundred quid isn't it

Should be £40 IMO but seen as high as £80 for some reason. Metro label around the £200 mark.

Sure this was discussed earlier and it was decided it was a Soussan jobbie!!

Butch been playing it for about ten years but not really pushed it. Andy D got the second known copy and Mick H got one from Butch. It's now getting pushed and getting the exposure I think it deserves. Think Mick Smith found the first copy and sold it Butch.

My all time fave Jamie but as far as dancers go the two I mention have it all IMO.

I've always said I'd play them Timmie Williams - Competition - Mala but my choice is changing I think towards the JJ Jackson - Too Much Love cover up, powerful Northern Soul dancer

Orange or yellow, whatever colour used to describe it is a bit rarer if remember rightly.

Trainspotter maybe but did a bit of browsing for this Knew about the MGM stuff and aware of the Coed link but wasn't aware of name change etc....always summat to learn mate

here's what I found........... Formed in Philadelphia in 1966. Comprised of Victor Drayton, Jerry Akins, Ernie Brooks, Reginald Turner, and Johnny Bellman, the group made its recorded debut as backing vocalists on the Coed label single "Sad Illusion," credited to Margie & the Formations. "At the Top of the Stairs" followed on Bank in 1967 -- written by Akins and soon-to-be-legendary composer/producer Leon Huff, the single boasted almost Baroque flourishes on top of its gorgeous harmonies and driving beat, anticipating the lush, shimmering Philly soul sound Huff and partner Kenny Gamble would perfect in the decade to follow. "At the Top of the Stairs" proved a local smash and was licensed to MGM for national release in 1968 -- it was not a hit, however, although a U.K. re-release in 1970 cracked the British Top 30. Later in 1968, the Formations recorded two more MGM singles -- "Love's Not Only for the Heart" and "Don't Get Close" -- which followed a similar musical formula and met a similar commercial fate. After three consecutive singles failed at national radio, the group abandoned the Formations name, with the same five original members rechristening themselves the Corner Boys to release 1969's "Gang War (Don't Make No Sense)" on the Neptune label. After another name change, this time to the Silent Majority, the group signed to the Holland-Dozier-Holland production team's Hot Wax label for 1970's "Frightened Girl," followed a year later by "Colors of My Love." After "Good News," a one-off single for the tiny Detroit Star label, the Silent Majority agreed to give it one more go, this time as Hot Ice -- 1972's "Isn't It Lonely" landed the group a contract with Atlantic Records, for which they cut a pair of 1974 singles, "Streakin' and Freakin'" and "Boogie Joogie," before finally dissolving.

£400 There must be loads about Mind you since when has the rarity ever had owt to do with the value

sold one of these a couple of years ago on 7 inch, sure it was just cheap at the time (£15/£20) and still is unless I've missed summat 12" dunno??
