Editorial summary

“Call Down the Moon” enters the record as 1995 album by Man. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Call, Down and Moon can confirm, complicate or overturn.

Editorial reviewA productive route into publication, performance and collection histories when the underlying object or edition remains clearly identified. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1983, 1994, 1995, 2009—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1995. Its strongest next move is a source search built around Call, Down and Moon.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Call Down the Moon” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Call, Down and Moon provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Reception evidence should be dated and situated: later canonical status may differ sharply from the work’s initial circulation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5021499. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1983, 1994, 1995 and 2009.

Critical limits

Titles can refer to several editions, objects or performances, making precise identification essential before interpretation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Separate the work, its editions or performances, and its later reception. Catalogue records, publication histories and object files often preserve different parts of that story.
