Pub Juke Boxes

[Andyf]

We've had a juke box in the pub for a while and it had a bit of northern and club soul (Dobie Gray, Jackie Wilson, Gloria Jones, Judy Street) as well the usual Motown stuff.

Recently it was updated and I don't know what's happened but so far I've found:

Barbara Acklin (x3)

Barbara Mills

Darrell Banks (x2)

Mamie Galore

Garnet Mimms

Belles

Jackie Lee

Invincibles (covered up as INXS )

Baltimore First Class

Silent Majority

Mel Wynn

Bob Relf

Dean Parrish

Jimmy Radcliffe

Tobi Legend

Just thought I'd share that with you.

The Blue Lion in Newton Le Willows up here has had a similar updated Jukey (computer touch screen affair) with a similar odd amount of oddball soul n stuff on it.

The funny thing is some of the scans that come up have been lopped straight off Ebay as they are boots, re-isssues.

[soulpaul0]

lets name the good ones- i would drink in a decent pub with good music if there was one in local area.

love the post with record under inxs just to see they faces when it comes on (not what they want but its like pearls before swine );

[Godzilla]

I've just bought one of these

It's an NSM HIT 120 circa late 70s/early 80s.

The people I got it from had rescued it from the United Bus Workers Social Club here in Scarborough, so it has provenance, as they say.

[Swifty]

In the late 70's early 80's (Can't remember really) me and my best mates parents

both had pubs here in Louth , my old man used to play Robbie Vincent tapes and

loads of Taped vinyl (he was a cool guy!) and on my mates Jukebox I had two rows of Northern

that I would buy in 3 or 4 copies of at 60p each ish and flog to people at a quid ! Happy Days eh!

Cheers

Swifty

p.s. we also put IVOR BIGGUN - THE WINKERS SONG under GERRY RAFFETY - BAKER STREET

and that was 'kin funny to watch middle aged couples putting that on whilst having a basket meal !!!!

Im not 100% sure but i think some of the newer jukeboxes are mp3 that are downloaded from a data-base ?.The Royal in gt.harwood lancs has one.i managed to dig out Motown - the camotions but gave up as its a bit of a rockers pub.

[Guest WPaulVanDyk]

I think CD jukeboxes meant that you can add some Northern ie it might be a double cd of popular tunes or some soul CD's with a few on it.

Vinyl jukeboxes are same but if you liked could have used like old gold records so you had the hits and again some Northern ie tams etc

However there are now new jukeboxes which are MP3's and they actually can store thousands of tracks from more then the obvious CD's. there was a pub here with one and i found everything from Moses Smith, Jackie Wilson - Open the Door To Your Heart, Paul Anka - When We Get There and loads of other tracks it had not just 1 cd some bands had like 5 or 6 as if it was there back catalogue

I'm pretty sure you're right. There's certainly one full compilation CD on there (Mel Wynn, Tobi Legend etc.), but there's the odd one or two tracks that seem to materialise out of nowhere.

Further investigation last night revealed :

Cooperates

Four Larks

Capreez

Jack Montgomery

Candy & the Kisses

And yes I do play them otherwise it tends to be wall to wall Pink Floyd, Dire Straits or Kings of Leon.

Haven't been barred yet

While in the U.K. recently we went to the Soulville Steak House in the centre of Nottingham. They have an old type jukebox with stacks of Northern and Motown singles on it AND the best part is you can press the buttons and play them for FREE while partaking in the eating of the best steaks i have tried ever. They have some fantastic memorabilia too as well as a nice Lambretta parked in the window. Well worth a visit if your in Nottingham. The owner is a real nice guy too and loves his soul music. The place is alway's packed out with soulies old and new. Defo be in there when we come over in September. Stay soulful.. Tony and Sue, OZ.

I went into a Pub in Burnham not long ago for a game of pool with a mate and thought I would put a tune on the Juke Box and was amazed to find Count the Days - Magnetics

Nobody else seemed to enjoy it but I had a good bop round the pool table

Here's my 1965 Seeburg Discotheque Junior (Mustang U-100) that originally came from a pub in Nottingham:

It's a U.S. street scene with shop signs that have names of dances on them - Frug, Twist, Madison, Cha Cha Cha etc - that are flourescent - unfortunately I need to get a replacement 'black light' bulb for them to be illuminated.

Sorry i don't know the actual address as some friends took us there but it is just 2 minutes walk from the Victoria shopping centre which is smack bang in the middle of the city so should'nt be too hard to find. Just ask anyone as it's a real popular place. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did, oh and take a camera. ATB Tony. oz.
