En 1989, la gramola de John Lennon, vio la luz durante una subasta de material de The Beatles y fue vendida por cais 6.000 euros a John Midwinter un promotor musical de Bristol.
Lennon compró una gramola en 1965, especificamente una Swiss KB Discomatic, y la lleno de canciones. Puso en ella 40 singles para que le acompañaran durante la gira.
La selección refleja los gustos musicales de John Lennon y las canciones que le inspiraron como compositor, músico y cantante.
Este es un documental acerca de John Lennon y su gramola que vio la luz en el mítico programa británico de la cadena ITV, The South Banks Show.
In 1989, John Lennon's jukebox surfaced in an auction of Beatles memorabilia at Christie's, and was sold for £2,500 ($4,907) to Bristol-based music promoter John Midwinter. Lennon had apparently bought the jukebox – specifically a Swiss KB Discomatic – in 1965, and filled it with forty singles to take with him on tour. Midwinter spent several years restoring the box and researching the discs catalogued in Lennon's spidery handwriting. When Midwinter developed cancer, and his health began to deteriorate, his desire to see the player featured in some kind of documentary became all the more important.
