I think we've seen this before, but why don't any of the tunes listed whose names include apostrophes link to the tunes in the database ? Is there a cure ?
"Smart quotes" are the curly quotation marks we're used to reading -- the ones shaped like a 6 to open and a 9 to close. Likewise, there are "smart apostrophes" which are shaped like a 9. These are encoded differently to "straight" quotes and apostrophes, which look the same regardless of position and so are the default for keyboard input.
Bottom line: you'll run into trouble (like I did) if you copy-paste track listings from documents that have "smart" quotes or apostrophes rather than their "straight" counterparts. Easy to fix -- just retype the apostrophe or quotation mark in the listing on thesession

Re: Why
Because they're smart quotes. I've fixed (straightened) them now.

Thanks for fixing that, "bdh". Pardon my ignorance, but what are "smart quotes"?
