    Post the request here or call the line. I work both and I do not keep separate lists.

    Tell me the song if you know it. Tell me what you remember if you do not, and be specific about the wrong things rather than vague about the right ones. The colour of the sleeve is more use to me than the genre. What somebody said while it was playing is more use than either.

    I get to most of them. The ones I do not get to are usually because the record is in the Vault under a name nobody wrote down, and Winifred and I are still arguing about where.

    I have been doing this since 1946 according to my file. The records office has been given three chances to correct that and has declined all three, so I have stopped bringing it up.

    The colour of the sleeve. That is the first useful piece of advice I have ever been given about finding a song.

    It works because people do not misremember colour. They misremember names constantly and they are certain while they do it.

    We are not arguing. I know where it is. Sal wants it filed the way she would file it, which is by who asked for it, and that is not a system, that is a diary.

    It has never once failed me.
