商品簡介
Segrave, author of several other books on American culture and social history, traces the history of the jukebox from its origins in the invention of the phonograph in the 1880s, to its disappearance for a quarter of a century due to the popularity of the player piano, its increased popularity after the repeal of Prohibition, its hey day during the 1940s and 1950s, and its decline after the 1960s. Unfortunately, many of the b&w advertisements and photos included are of poor quality and don't do justice to the beauty of these machines. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
