The Jukebox Series

A Song of the Day series

By Eric Berman

“The Jukebox Series” focuses on the 80 records that inhabit my 1963 Seeburg LPC1 jukebox. I’ve had my jukebox (or as I like to call it “the prehistoric iPod”) for a little over twelve years and in that time I’d like to think that I’ve perfected the mix of 45s within.

The jukebox holds 80 of Eric’s real 45s, and he swaps them in and out whenever he likes. To make a full Top 100, he added 20 more. Every entry shows the record label and catalog number, and comes with the story behind the song.
