Incredible! Easily my favourite Kea puzzle, and the best Listener so far this year. Just so rich in the theme and all the diverse gimmicks throughout. Thanks Kea!

Better than 4775? You’re having a laugh. It’s a fine puzzle (as all of Kea’s are) though the final 21d is not in Chambers, but that was once in a decade stuff. If you fancy backing your judgement on which will win the Ascot Gold Cup, I’ll happily oblige!

Actually, I wasn't having a laugh.

A good puzzle but just that. I agree with keepatit that 4775 was exceptional and will certainly win best puzzle of the year.

Very tough - nearly two days to see the third feature.
Got there in the end.
A brilliant composition.
Thanks Kea.

upsetter

4775 was a tour de force of composition.
We gave up, largely because unlike most Listeners it was too easy to make an ‘undetectable’ error which compounded itself.
Heaven knows what sort of Frankenstein's monster our DNA might have created.

Very fine, though the debate about 4775 is open. I did like the visual element of the completed grid, TAVM, Kea

Cruncher

Well I have a completed grid, a song title and a source so I have the middle bits to figure. I found a lot of the clues jolly fiddly, so to speak, even when I had guessed what the answer must be.

Cruncher

Oh, slightly underwhelmed by that. Definitely found the gridfill more interesting than the end game which was over in a flash. Neat piece of work but not a POTY for me

freiheid

This seems to be a companion piece to Tiburon's 4777, with the prominent name highlighted in the top row and the coincidence of the birthdate. Very alert of Kea to spot that, and work it into a brilliant puzzle to order.

Late starter after a busy weekend.

I had the grid filled reasonably quickly. The middle part of the endgame was the slowest for me. Grid staring is not my idea of fun, especially when we don't specifically know what to look for. The final item held me up the longest -- I probably spent longer looking for it than filling the entire grid.

As always, a good puzzle from Kea, but slightly let down by the grid stare.
