Right Place, Wrong Time (song) → Right Place Wrong Time (song) – Image shows the song title has no comma. The song as listed on the back of the original In the Right Place LP sleeve also has no comma, if you want to find images of this to verify. 2605:A601:AADC:2100:C2FA:4802:5984:FA49 (talk) 01:58, 29 December 2022 (UTC) This is a contested technical request (permalink). – robertsky (talk) 14:31, 30 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

Regarding all of the above- apart from the title being uniformly rendered without a comma on the single sleeve/label and the LP sleeve/label, and indeed registered with ASCAP without the comma, the non-comma version is used in eg The New Rolling Stone Album Guide, The Rock Song Index, The Inevitable City (a book on New Orleans), and Joel Whitburn's books compiling Billboard chart history. I don't think it's possible to say that one form or another predominates in reliable sources- the pattern seems to be that sources concerned with documenting/cataloging music history use the title as given on official releases (without the comma), while casual references to the song elsewhere use the comma, as would be more typical of the phrase used in regular prose- but there's enough use of both forms that both versions should probably be noted in the article.
