I have a problem with a bunch of related releases. There is a fellow named Webley Edwards who had a radio show in Hawaii called "Hawaii Calls". Searching that phrase we find this list. In my opinion, all of these records should be credited to: "Webley Edwards Presents Hawaii Calls" or something similar. It says that on every one of them. Always with The Hawaii Calls Orchestra, Chorus and Soloists or Al Kealoha Perry, or Recorded in Honolulu with Al Kealoha Perry, etc. etc.
My point is that these recordings are all by the same artist. I don't know exactly how it should be entered so as to connect all of these logically. I just know it should be that they all show up as one artist. My first guess would be "Webley Edwards Presents Hawaii Calls".
This is a serious conversation I'm bringing up and I would appreciate some feedback and eventual settling of the issue. I own one of the albums and it seems clear to me after looking at all of the evidence.
The BSNpubs page has 20 Webley Edwards/Hawaii Calls mentions and is worth a quick look.

From the looks of the results (and a separate search for Webley Edwards) there are four of each on vinyl albums, but both distinct, with no formulation of the names together in one artist name...
...So my suggestion would be to create a "See also" link between the two discographies, and with the pseudonyms and arrangements of the Hawaii Calls name(s) gathered under one agreed lead version of that name.
If an artist (which you may have?) turns up where both Webley Edwards and some variation of "Hawaii Calls" appear in one artist name, it can be added as pseudonyms to both.
45cat appears to have such artist names already, where this might be possible, so I could do a little moonlight modding over there for this artist.
Just let me know which of the Hawaii Calls variants ought to be the lead one, under which to place the other variants as pseudonyms.
