4.0 out of 5 stars Good British Group, September 19, 2000

By	Eugene Esterly III (Breinigsville, PA United States) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Edison Lighthouse (Tony Burrows), November 3, 2002

By	"leatherqueen" (Chicago ( U S A )) - See all my reviews

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars One Hit Wonders, And Thank God For That, April 21, 2001

By	David Bradley "David Bradley" (Sterling, VA USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

"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.
