hello nice video I noticed that you have the cartridgee put in backwards you have the side b side for the a side turn the cartridge around . it will sound better I work with jukes and that will ruin the needle faster the way you have the cartridge installed . but it is a great juke box and enjoy

Hi Tough213 You are very observant, and yes it was in backwards for about one day. I am one of the very few that own the stereo cartridge upgrade kit put out by Seeburg. Unlike the stereo tonearm that prevents backward installation, it allows it to be inserted backwards if you are not careful. Later Pickering just made a two prong mono version of the stereo cartridge which simply installed in the mono cartridge shell. The advantage of the kit enables you to use the less expensive stereo cart

This version is not complete, as others noted. The Morris Stoloff Orch. had the #1 bestselling record in the land, on June 9, 1956, on DECCA. There was also a Top Ten selling version by the George Cates Orch. on Coral. The movie it was taken from "Picnic" was a smash hit, and starred William Holden. It made a big star of newcomer, Kim Novak.

Nice video playing a song that was probably played on it back when it was new. The only thing is that you pan too long on the needle and record not the rest of the jukebox...gets a little boring to watch, but great to hear.

Hi bon1042. This version is shorter, necessary to get it on reg 45. I have a rare extd play 45 4 record album from Picnic. It has yet a different longer version than one used in movie. Piano more pronounced before going more softly into the violins.

I understand how this could be a favorite. Thanks for the info. I was just thinking that of all the versions I have heard of this song,I like this one the best. Seems closest to the actual version in the movie which is the version I fell in love with. Thanks again.

Hi, Yes, it's closest to full length version which is somehow also fuller, richer. I remember reclining in my Mom's chaisse(sp?) lounge on screened in porch in summer w/breeze drifting fragrance fm a flowering bush in outside corner of porch and I love the brushes on the drums, the rhythm. If I had the software and knew how to do it I'd post it, but I'm ignorant, alas.

Hey, what a nice visual you just gave me. Thanks. The rhythm is perfect for me. I am illiterate when it comes to the technical aspect of computers and the ins and outs of these web postings. I am happy to just watch, listen, read and occasionally comment. Nice talking with you.
