OK, thanks, Mike.  That, and your other adjacent comments, looks good.

What I was really after, although it doesn't look like that here, was a 
way of stopping the recovered 'failed' recording being automatically 
disappeared from 'Previously Recorded', so that *I* shall know, at some 
future time, that I have (or had) what seemed to be an acceptable version.

Since your suggestion implies that the recording will remain in the DB, 
perhaps it does that.

By 'recoverable' I mean that it appears, usually from the log of my 
cutting script, that the 'failure' wasn't too bad; perhaps a delay in 
getting lock, or a discontinuity in timestamps.  The 'failure' criteria 
are good but maybe sometimes unnecessarily strict.  Hindsight helps.
