CR- 11 CD Oldies Jukebox
“I’m leaving it up to you- oou, you decide what you’re gonna do, or do you want my Love-a-ove, or are we thru?” Just one of many wonderful lyrics you would hear in an Oldies Jukebox from the 50′s and 60′s. Surely, you’ll never hear Hip-Hop-Rap in an Oldies Jukebox, or from the Classic era. It has been noted by musical analyst, that the number of chords used in Rap has been reduced, sacraficing variety for volume, compared to an Era of pure and clean lyrics, rather than the harsh and boring shortened lyrics that focus on love vs. death, romance vs. sex, and juvenile slang that begs for a jump-start in basic English, and hopes that the Lyric being repeated over and over again – will somehow jump out of the furrow, the needle has so deeply rooted in, leaving you to witness a music as only a “Trend”, that will not last. Oldies-but-Goodies speak to wholesome romance, school-yard stories and Malt-shop flirting rendezvous – however are remembered for honor in dating, traditional values, and classic Muscle Cars from the Frankie Avalon days, and ” Good, good, good vibrations”, from the Beach Boys, and the Oldies Jukebox delivered the tunes, in amusement parks, Ice cream parlors, and your favorite hamburger joint – A+W Rootbeer.

Popular music especially has always prized a degree of conformity—witness the enduring popularity of cover songs and remixes—while at the same time being obsessed with the new. Music today draws from the same chords as music from the 1950s, the days of the Oldies Jukebox. Nearly all melodies are composed of ten most popular chords. What music lost in variety, it has gained in volume. Songs today are on average 9 decibels louder than half a century ago, confirming what industry types have long suspected: that record labels engage in a “loudness race” in order to catch radio listeners’ attention. Since digital audio formats max out at a certain decibel level, as the average loudness inches towards that ceiling, songs will lose dynamic range, becoming ever more uniform. This homogeneity is not just jarring to melomaniacs. It might confuse the popular algorithms for identifying and recommending tracks, like those used by Spotify and other music services. In contrast, many people cut their teeth on songs by Fankie Valli and the Four Seasons, the Supremes, the Angels and “My Boyfriend’s Back. Many would slow dance to Dione Warwick’s ” If you see me walkin down the street, each time we meet and I start to cry, walk on by “, and melodies like “Wishin n Hopin” ; the underlying beat gave so many that loved Oldies Jukebox melodies, spun out a steady rhythm to dance to and allowed music lovers to grow accustomed to rockin-out to songs that were both happy as well as catchy. We did the doo-wop’ing by the Belmonts, speaking to the time when lyrics were pure, untainted and simply Fun. Today – If I walk up to a Seeburg, a Crosley, or a Rockabilly playing a Jukebox Classic, I’ll have no other choice but to kick up my heels and dance with my Sweetheart.

But jukeboxes actually go much farther back than that. The first coin operated music box was invented in the late 1800s. Not until 1940 did they aquire their current name, “Joog Joint” or shanty Taverns, where farmers and plantation workers could slip away in the evenings, and obtain inexpensive food and entertainment.
Many models of old jukeboxes can be quite valuable due to their rarity. It is a good idea to have an antiques dealer give you an estimate of the worth before you make a purchase. However- sometimes cost is not an issue, to the genuine Collector; they just have to have it.

You might be able to find one fully restored, or it might be one that needs some tlc. One thing is sure, the finished product is sure to be one, that will delight for more generations to come.
