The above record jacket, ironically, contained a record that never made it into the juke box. It is Bonnie Parker's cover of Eve of Destruction. I received it from Sybil Zangari who had gotten it from either Beth Ann Jones or Sissy Williams who had gotten it from Bonnie with the expressed purpose being to put it on the 340 juke box. Alas, it was a British style 45 with a small spindle hole - like a 33 RPM album - and was not formatted properly for the juke box.
Last week, Curator's Corner featured the Rockola 432 Juke Box that served the 340 from April 1981 to the end of the second coming in 1984. This week, the records that could be found in the 340 are the feature.
INSERT PICTURE #2 HOPEFULLY BY TOMORROW
There are 500 45 RPM records in the 340 Club collection. All the more reason why the Juke Box needs to be repaired or replaced. It is my intention to have the DJ (on June 7th) limit there selection to just those records; actually a subset of perhaps 150 or so of the greatest hits of the 340 Juke Box. Here is an in progress look at a typical setup of the mighty mighty 340 Juke Box. I will endeavor to fill in all the bins with records.
