    Is this supposed to be a cryptic clue ? or is it one of those infernal themed clues ?

    Cryptic, I think - it's not a themed week. I suspect the clue is the song title, and that should give us the band / artist, but I'm nowhere. I was trying to work with "Folsom Prison Blues" but that doesn't fit at all.

      Well, Doesn't appear to follow CCC rules. I spent a few minutes looking at it and got nowhere. Best Wishes, -David Delaune

        The artist has 6,6 letters so it is not Michael Jackson, that is 7,7. Now do the magic!

        In Word you can only store 2 bytes. That is why I use Writer.

          I think we are looking at 33: a song and artist / band

            I don't think it is following any crossword convention

              I am ready to take the challenge. But first could you confirm that your clue follows the Cryptic crossword rules?

                  Sorry but this isn't a cryptic clue - you can always solve a cryptic clue - this clue requires you to know the artist / song which doesn't follow CCC ( or any other ) crossword convention

                      Hmmmm, Only thing that peaked my interest was that 'love-letters' is an anagram of teller[^] and votes[^].

                            Problem is I think he mixed up the Song tittle and album name. Either way number counts don't match
