5.0 out of 5 stars Edison Lighthouse (Tony Burrows)
Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2002
WELL IT TOOK AWHILE,BUT I FINALLY HAVE A COPY OF SOME OF MY
FAVORITE BUBBLE GUM HITS HERE.LOVE GROWS/IT'S UP TO YOU PETULA.
I HAVE LISTENED TO THESE SONGS VIA VINYL FOR AGES. I HAVE ALWAYS
ADMIRED THE VOCALS OF EDISON LIGHTHOUSE. AND THIS BEST OF IMPORT
IS A DYNAMIC COLLECTION FOR THOSE WHO APPRECIATE AND WANT A QUICK RETURN INTO THE CHEWY CHEWY BUBBLE GUM YEARS. BAZOOKA HAS
NOTHING ON THIS BABY (LOL). TONY BURROWS HAS CONTRIBUTED TO SOME
OF THE MOST UNFORGETTABLE CLASSICS THAT WILL LIVE ON AND ON.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good British Group
Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2000
Every song on this Cd is great. I only know Edison Lighthouse for the song Love Grows Where My Rosemary Grows. After listening to this cd, I now like every song. For $13.49 you can't go wrong. If you like Edison Lighthouse,Tony Burrows, or British Rock then buy this cd. I also brought this cd because Tony Burrows who sang with White Plains, Brotherhood of Man, etc sings on some of the songs.

I bought this CD for the song LOVE GROWS WHERE MY ROSEMARY GOES. It used to be one of my favorites in sixth grade. I remember when my mom took me on the bus across town to get new glasses and she took me to a grill next the the University of Toledo. She had given me a dime to play this song on the jukebox there.
I guess the birds and the bees were more naive and innocent then. Holding a girl's hand in junior high seemed to be a big deal. Now they have oral sex at 13! Except for LOVE GROWS alot of that music is Muzak. I played this disc a few times on my player and then put it away. But it is a tribute to [...] that they carry such obscure music and movies.
This may be superfluous, but this kind of Bubble Gum pop music did remind me of how I saw girls in grade school-pretentioulsy sophistacted and pretty. Like they never smell bad. But when I married my former wife at 18, she did demystify women for me-just like how Joe Dimaggio was reported to have had to tell Marilyn Monroe to flush the toilet after she had a bowel movement. This is kind of revealing about the mystery of woman in the 60-s'you know, they're "sugar and spice and everything nice!" Now I feel that women combine feminism with sexual manipulation!

3.0 out of 5 stars Edison Lighthouse Verses White Plains. Make your choice!

White Plains is better. I only enjoyed "Love Grows", "She Works In a Woman's Way" and "Every Little Move she Makes", a song Tony Burrows performed earlier with White Plains on another CD, "Complete Deram Records Singles Collection" by White Plains. with Edison Lighthouse, every song sounded the same. I've played it twice. there is a 6 page tri- fold liner notes booklet and sound quality is good. now I can understand while this CD wasn't in print very long. if you like this, or if you don't like this, White Plains will change your mood. they are the group which Tony Burrows lead in the 1970's before he lead Edison Lighthouse. I've played my White Plains CD to death! I love it. This particular CD might not be played as much as I played White Plains.

1.0 out of 5 stars One Hit Wonders, And Thank God For That

"Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)" is one of my all-time favorite pop singles, an absolute masterpiece of that early-70s genre that allowed the Archies to have hit singles, the Jackson Five to have a Saturday morning cartoon show, and opened the way for the Bay City Rollers and the Partridge Family.
It's sugary sweet pop but it still rocks; a blend I find spine-tingling.
So...why didn't Edison Lighthouse have any other hits?
Judging by this "Best of" collection, it's because they were a terrible, terrible band.
Songs like "She Works In A Woman's Way," What's Happening," and "Find Mr. Zebedee" give pretension a new lease on life.
A couple of things here, most notably "Take A Little Time," sure sound like they were recorded for some Saturday morning cartoon. But, in the end, they're all totally forgettable.

There are a few Edison Lighthouse cd's where the songs have been rerecorded (badly apparently), but these are the original recordings, 5 A sides with their respective B sides and 4 previously unreleased songs, well worth getting.
