    SPONTANEOUS LUNACY VERDICT - 3/10

    Apparently early pressings of this single had "Rest Of My Life" as the flipside to "Who Drank My Beer..."--certainly the trade papers seem to have reviewed it with that coupling. I've yet to see a copy released that way--all copies I've ever seen have
    the coupling as reviewed here

    BTW "Rest Of My Life" wasn't a "new" song---it was his old number "AIn't Gonna Do It" simply retitled

    Your subject truncated where it did because it tries to truncate at the end
    of a word, and the next part is '-A-Ling”:IMPERIAL' which looks like a word
    because there are no spaces.

    You are not giving enough detailed logic here, Retro Guy,
    enough to be of practical help in constructing subjects/titles.

    If you read the article you posted (click on it, or read it with a >>>>>newsreader), you will see the subject line remains intact.

    this was not truncated:

    REVIEW-The Five Hollywood Blue Jays:"So Worried"-RIH 185;NOVEMBER 1952 >>>>
    this was truncated:

    REVIEW-Dave Bartholomew-“Little Girl Sing Ding-A-Ling”:IMPERIAL<space> >>>> 5210;NOVEMBER 52

    I see a bug!

    I'll work on this today and reply back when I get somewhere.

    I do have a doctor appt in a couple of hours, so there will be a bit of a >>> delay.

    I found the problem. It's due to the subject being encoded on posting, and being multi-line. The second line was being discarded. It now displays (on a test site) as:
    REVIEW-Dave Bartholomew-“Little Girl Sing Ding-A-Ling”:IMPERIAL 5210;N >> so it is being truncated at the pre-defined 69 characters.

    I have it working properly now on a test site, but need to do some testing to make sure it doesn't break anything else. I'll keep at it for a bit.

    THank you for your efforts in solving this. It is much appreciated

    Let's give it a test and see what happens...
