Talk:Edison Lighthouse

Untitled
I would think the band's name is much more likely a (supposedly) humorous corruption of Eddystone Lighthouse (given the relative obscurity of the Edison Memorial tower in the UK) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chippyd1 (talk • contribs) 20:18, 1 September 2007 (UTC)


 * FWIW, I think the previous commenter is wrong about that; the combination of "Edison" and "light" -- Edison being hailed in the U.S. at least as the inventor of the incandescent light bulb -- tends to indicate that there's a play on words here that has little to do with an obscure-sounding lighthouse.

 * Hope someone can fix my reference to the Burrows/Edison discography; it doesn't seem to show up properly. Ajericn (talk) 09:22, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
 * The term "Edison Lighthouse" precedes this band by nearly ten years... it is mentioned in "The Explosive Biscuits", an episode of The Navy Lark first broadcast 30 November 1960. -- Red rose64 (talk) 13:13, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

Considering that all three currently available CDs and CDRs are by the third version (Drummond) of the band (which bears little resemblance to the first two), I'd appreciate the information that I posted about them in 2010 being reinstated to the article. As I noted above, it IS authenticated, though it's an online source; I just couldn't get the reference to print. Ajericn (talk) 00:42, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

 * I understand your deleting copied material, but clearly some meaning has been removed with it. For example, Macaulay the poet died in 1859 and was unlikely to be producing records in the latter half of the 20th century. Perhaps there is some other Macaulay who we should recognise by surname alone?--kscally 09:35, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
