Talk:Eldorado (Electric Light Orchestra album)

Requested move

Eldorado, A Symphony → Eldorado (album) — The proper title of this album is simply "Eldorado" and as they are other Eldorado articles in this English Wikipedia, the naming convention would make the album fall under "Eldorado (album)." I have no idea why this album is currently under "Eldorado, A Symphony." No website out there refers to the album as this. —Douglasr007 21:52, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

I have moved to Eldorado (ELO album) to distinguish from Eldorado (Neil Young album) and El Dorado (Aterciopelados album). -- Beardo 03:49, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Ok, thank you. I moved the article to include the full name of ELO following the naming convention of album titles. Douglasr007 05:06, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Chronology

The chronology links need tweaking - this page leads BACK to On The Third day, which leads FORWARD to Night The Light Went On In Long Beach. There may be other hiccups like that if you do a quick run through the series. Asat (talk) 18:49, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

I will work on this. Thanks.-Werideatdusk33 (talk) 19:32, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Dubious

The reference pointing out Sharon Osbourne designed the front cover is from a forum and mentions Wikipedia in itself. I'm removing the section within 2 weeks unless a more verifiable source can be provided. ♫ Douglasr007 (talk) 01:10, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

In a 1978 radio interview with Australian radio station 2SM (broadcast on 3XY and other affiliates), Bev Bevan recalls how the record company hyped up the cover to the band before showing it to them, telling them it had been tipped for cover of the year etc. When the band saw it, none of them knew what it was and thought it was dreadful. When the Wizard of Oz reference (tying in with the Eldorado dream theme) was explained to them they changed their minds and accepted it. The impression is given that it was a record company decision and design. Sharon Arden Osbourne, being the daughter of their manager Don Arden (who receives mention throughout the interview) would have been well known to the band, and had the design originated with her it would have been suggested internally to the band by management, not the record company. This is obviously not definitive, but the way Bev tells the story it's hard to imagine the idea came from their manager's daughter, and if it did it would have taken the unnecessarily circuitous route of being presented to the record company and then by the record company to the band - unlikely in my opinion.

Thanks for reply. So it seems that if Sharon Osbourne designed the cover, the band would have known instead of the record company (Jet Records). You think the suggestion was to get Sharon more known? I had no idea she had a history with being involved with music. I only know her as being Ozzy's wife and being a judge for America's Got Talent. I'll remove the section for now. If anybody objects, the revision before the edit is here. A better source would need to be provided since the one provided was just a forum discussing it. ♫ Douglasr007 (talk) 20:20, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
