Archive Questions
A transparent list of source discrepancies and unresolved points that the archive has deliberately not “corrected” by guesswork. These are research prompts, not additional historical claims.
The Who — Corn Exchange
The selected event record uses 23 January 1965, while the surviving archive material contains a date/source discrepancy. The discrepancy is retained rather than silently resolved.
The Vibrators — Chancellor Hall
The selected event record is dated 26 June 1977, while the surviving Where & When index also contains a separate 7 July 1977 appearance. The archive does not currently collapse these into one event.
Dr Feelgood — Chancellor Hall
The Artists & Bands selected index currently records 7 November 1990, but the surviving Where & When source index contains “Chelmsford Chancellor Hall - 04.04.75 +”. These should not be reconciled without checking the underlying source material.
People's Memories
Personal recollections remain separate from verified event records. The archive currently has a direct memory connection for The Who, while the Hendrix and Pink Floyd event pages do not claim matching memories.
Where & When is broader than the selected event layer
The surviving Where & When index contains many more entries than the selected event records. A source-index entry is not automatically promoted into a full event page; stronger supporting material is required before making that change.
Research principle
The archive preserves uncertainty where the surviving material is uncertain. Future additions should strengthen a record with source material rather than make a clean-looking date or story by inference.

Pink Floyd — Corn Exchange
The selected event record uses 23 September 1967, while the surviving Where & When source index says 23.09.1966. The archive now records this as an explicit unresolved source/date discrepancy.
Adam & The Ants — Odeon
The selected event record is 13 December 1980 at the Odeon, while the surviving source index also contains an Adam& The Ants / Gods Toys entry dated 4 February 1979 at Chancellor. These have not been merged.
