However much the machines and technology have evolved, there is still a rich history behind the Jukebox name/brand, which is often called upon to feature in everything from retro music videos to Hollywood movies. With nostalgia for the classic jukeboxes still going strong, there are also many opportunities for fans to indulge their passion through museums and memorabilia.

Although Wurlitzer , the worlds most legendary Jukebox manufacturer made their last model in 1973, the brand has since been taken over by Gibson, who produce replicas of classic Wurlitzer models. They also run a comprehensive online museum. Visitors can explore adverts from Wurlitzer’s heyday, a comprehensive gallery of all their famous models, and a chart of all time Wurlitzer jukebox hits.

Along with these classic advertisements, other collector’s items include coasters and button badges with the 1950’s slogan ‘Gee Dad it’s a Wurlitzer’. The United States also released a postage stamp celebrating 50 years of model 1015, one of Wurlitzer’s most popular models.

However, the Jukebox story doesn’t solely belong to Wurlitzer. Museums such as those in Belgium and the Netherlands also exhibit makes such as Rock-Ola, Seeburg, AMI, and lesser known brands like Barco and Tonomat.

Internet searches also reveal a large number of dealers who sell and/or restore classic jukebox machine. These range from the Wurlitzer ‘One More Time’ model, the only 7inch vinyl machine on the market, to models moving with the times and supporting mp3 connections.

Apart from Museums and dealers, one of the best places to see Jukeboxes is at a Jukebox show, and there are several held across the world. Chicagoland in the U.S.A is one of the biggest, attracting visitors and dealers from across the world. It exhibits not only collectable jukeboxes but also slot machines, coke machines, arcade games. There is also a large Jukebox show held annually at Rosemalen in The Netherlands.

Jukeboxes are most representative of the 1940’s/1950’s, and these eras are celebrated in style with a Jukebox show held at Brighton Racecourse, and Jukebox Madness at Kempton Park in Surrey. Jukebox Madness has been running since 1987, and every year offers visitors a host of Jukeboxes, retro clothing, records, live bands, and a rock and roll quiz. The Jukebox show in Brighton has also added Neon Signs, Diner Furniture, and Classic American cars to its exhibits.

Internet shoppers are not forgotten, with famous fashion site ASOS (As Seen On Screen) offering a colourful Jukebox T-Shirt for sale this season.  Many items of memorabilia follow their trend featuring the more colourful streamlined Jukebox designs.

To buy a jukebox today could cost anywhere between £6,000 and £10,000, if not more, but as their popularity continues, so do the many opportunities to indulge in some Jukebox nostalgia.

The fallen idol has caused great upset amongst her fans over the last few months with disastrous concerts, shocking headlines in the press and concerns about the state of her mental health.  While there are unconfirmed reports that she recently tried to end her own life, surely now is the time for her management company to take the reins and give her the help she needs?

Unless Amy Winehouse receives the long term help which she so obviously requires we are unlikely to see the fresh faced youth who burst onto the music scene ever again.  She has the talent, she has the fans and all she needs to do now is to find herself.

Let us hope that we are writing about her recovery in 12 months times because the alternative does not bear thinking about.

Music studios aren’t like many other standard businesses, and the typical insurance should not be used to cover them.  There are not only the building that you need to insure, but the expensive musical equipment, instruments, and the technology that you have set up within your music studio.  This includes not only your gear, but the gear of clients that may be in your space for days or even weeks.  This isn’t even including the media that they are being recorded on, the recordings they are making as well as their actual property.

If you have a moderate home music studio then your typical home insurance may suffice, but if you are running a full fledged business, then you can’t rely on home insurance to cover the damages.  There are many music studio insurance companies that are specifically put into place to cover the exact situation so you don’t have to worry about all the little odds and ends within a typical home insurance that may or may not cover the music industry.

Any agent that you work with in the music studio insurance company will understand what you have and what you need covered, so there will be no miscommunication of any type.  They understand that what you have in your music studio at times isn’t even yours.  It could be borrowed, rented or it could belong to a band or talent.

Essentially, music studio insurance is a form of general liability insurance that is designed to protect you against third party lawsuits from bodily injury or property damage.  It is specifically made for music studios or rehearsal spaces to cover things like someone falling or injuring themselves on your property or if the talent that is recording plugs their equipment into your board only to find that it blows out their electrical instruments.  The clients could then sue you easily.  The fact is people do sue over these kinds of incidents, no matter what type of business it is.  Just by dealing with the public you are opening yourself up to this situation so it is important to deal with music studio insurance to not only protect yourself but your business as well.

Most studio insurance companies have a business policy that works directly with your studio so that if you charge a fee, no matter how little, you can be sure that the business policy covers you for anything that may happen.  This type of liability can not only save your career but the future of your business.  Although rates may vary depending on music studio insurance, the investment that you make into this type of insurance is not only essential to your livelihood, but to your overall success.
