Year: 1984, auction at Christie's, a certain John Midwinter , music promoter in Bristol buy a rickety jukebox ( jukebox, jukebox, phonograph) Swiss KB Discomatic , for 2500 pounds. The reason for its high price and that they were offering one of the most prestigious auction houses in the world, was because that was phonograph belonged to John Lennon , who had acquired it in 1965 and carried out on the road where the Beatles , carrying a collection of 40 discs with simple what-you wish-it was the best rock and rhythm and blues of the time. Midwinter not buy it with the discs inside, but with a paper written in the handwriting of Lennon : the list is believed, was that of the singles that were on the jukebox.
took several years to fix the machine and went to get (or recharging) the disks Lennon allegedly had chosen.
His idea was to make a documentary telling the story of famous jukebox. While
, Midwinter got cancer and died without seeing the completion of the documentary itself was issued in 2004 in " The South Bank Show " for English television channel ITV, to coincide with the release of a set of 2 CDs. " John Lennon's Jukebox " (Virgin) compilation contains several (by no means all in the same versions) of the singles Lennon had loaded his ancestor's iPod.
The selection is luxury:
Wilson Pickett and "The Midnight Hour", "Rescue Me" Fontella Bass , "1, 2, 3", hit song Len Barry, the original version of "Long Tall Sally" by Little Richard, Bob Dylan, Donovan, Barrett Strong, with the first single from Motown : "Money (That's What I Want)" Buddy Holly and disquito complete the first of September.
"Be Bop A Lula" by Gene Vincent , "Twist and Shout" by Isley Brothers , (who Beatles shared a stage), Larry Williams present several themes, including "Bad Boy", The Miracles, The Loving Spoonful and many more.
When the program XM Satellite Radio, "60 On 6 " completely gave " Lennon's Jukebox", which presented as a sign of good taste in music by Lennon and passion for collecting Midwinter, which made it possible to know the music that John heard in hotel rooms, mid-60s and during the rest of the crushing of rock and roll tour buried among adolescents shrill cries.
