Site Problems
In the last 24 hours, the site had a significant problem which corrupted the database. We are back again, and should be publishing as usual but one of the consequences is that the indexing system which allowed us to create pages of reviews by label/reviewer/composer has been lost (along with the main menu). The latter should be fixable fairly quickly, but the indexes are another matter.
