Steve Roud has asked me to post a further message ...

My understanding is that the Take 6 and old Roud Index pages will be taken down once the new one is working well. They are already woefully out of date (as I mentioned earlier, by tens of thousands of records).



If anyone has comments on the new site, could they please post them to the official feedback address: http://www.vwml.org/vwml-contact-and-visit-us/tell-us-what-you-think





We have looked into the missing Lover's Ghost entry, and we have discovered that the fault lay in the upload file being truncated somewhere down the line (so not my fault, nor Richard's, which is a relief). There must be other records missing too, so we will be uploading a new set of data as soon as possible, and will build in some checks to make sure it doesn't happen again. Thanks for letting us know. The upside is, the new file has nearly 1000 more records than the old one.



I don't think anyone answered Jenny-Sans-Cookie's query earlier. Sounds like you are searching all the databases and indexes at once. If you only want the Full English (i.e. the catalogue with the digital images of the songs themselves), make sure ONLY the Full English is ticked (checked) in the 'Filter Collections' list on the left. the digital images are at the bottom of each record.
