Saturday 2 January 1960, 6-6.30pm
Chairman: David Jacobs
Panel: Paul Carpenter, Peggy Cummins, Gilbert Harding, Lady Carolyn Townshend
Records played:
On The Beach – Playmates (Columbia)
I Wanna Be Loved – Ricky Nelson (London)
If I Give My Heart to You – Ketty Lester (Philips)
Marching Guitars – Bell Sounds (HMV)
Why – Frankie Avalon (HMV)
The Big Hurt – Miss Toni Fisher (Top Rank)
Love Is the Only Thing – Tennessee Ernie Ford (Capitol)
Oh Melancholy Me – Passions (HMV)
“Disgraceful! All American records on Saturday’s ‘Juke Box Jury’. Surely the producer Russell Turner should have noticed this great injustice – hardly respectful to his boss, Eric Maschwitz, former Songwriters’ Guild chairman, who greatly champions British tunes.” NME’s Alley Cat, 8 January 1960
The panel (including that long-haired beat boy Gilbert Harding) discussed the Playmates, Ricky Nelson, Kitty Kallen, the Bell Sounds, Frankie Avalon (‘Why’), Miss Toni Fisher, Tennessee Ernie Ford and the Passions. Looking at the BBC’s logs, it is absurd that the panel were asked to comment on Kitty Kallen’s ‘If I Give My Heart to You’ after just 30 seconds.
Gilbert Harding was described by NME as “television’s supreme critic and avowed hater of rock ’n’ roll.” When he was doing a DJ stint on the Light Programme, he once had to play Great Balls of Fire, but took it off halfway through and said, “That’s enough of that rubbish.”
Carolyn Townshend was one of England’s most beautiful debs. Became Lady Carolyn Capellini; married Antonio Capellini, 30, Italian landowner. She had been a TV scriptwriter.
Paul Carpenter & Peggy Cummins were actors. -

Saturday 9 January 1960, 6-6.30pm (Recorded 2.1.60)
Chairman: David Jacobs
Panel: Lionel Bart, Shirley Anne Field, Gilbert Harding, Anita Prynne
Records played:
All in Good Time – Nelson Trio (London)
A Girl Like You – Randy Sparks (HMV)

Song Of The Dreamer – David Whitfield (Decca)
We Told You Not To Marry – Titus Turner (London)
Think Love – Kathy Linden (Felsted)
Summer Set – Acker Bilk (Columbia)
The Years Between – Maureen Evans (HMV)
Eddie Cochran’s ‘Little Angel’ voted a hit on ‘Juke Box Jury’. Why were they playing the B-side? David Jacobs was so astonished that Gilbert Harding liked it that he gave him the record.
Lionel Bart was a song-writer who had just achieved massive success with Tommy Steele, and shows such as Fings Ain’t What They Used T’Be and Oliver; Shirley Anne Field was an actress; Anita Prynne an actress and TV interviewer.

“In a recent Juke Box Jury in the States,” said her husband Tony Aquaviva, who is the musical director of the Symphony of the Year, “Joni (James) held out against the rest of the panel about one number which they condemned and within two weeks it was right at the top.” She was said to be the first pop singer to appear at Carnegie Hall with a full symphony orchestra. Has eight gold and two platinum (over 2 million) records.
Anthea Askey, daughter of famous actor/comedian Arthur, was an actress; Jimmy Henney a DJ and TV presenter; Joni James an American singer; Eric Robinson a bandleader and musical director, much seen on BBC TV.

Saturday 23 January 1960, 6-6.30pm
Chairman: David Jacobs
Panel: Catherine Boyle, Patricia Bredin, Alan Freeman, Cyril Shack
Records played:
Lucky Devil – Frank Ifield (Columbia) — Shack says US version was a hit but David Jacobs says, it only got to no. 57
Teardrop – Santo and Johnny (Parlophone) Hawaiian guitars, Bredin Did I hear strings. DJ: It was all strings. Bredin: I don’t call a banjo strings.
It’s Time To Cry – Paul Anka (Columbia) voted a miss. Only Shack and DJ positive
Riders in The Sky – Kay Starr (Capitol)
Son of a Gun – Sanford Clark (London) voted a miss. All hate it. Cyril Shack: The record company waste their time in releasing things like this.
My Mother’s Eyes – Nellie Lutcher (Capitol)
Poor Me – Adam Faith (Parlophone) voted a hit. All liked it and Adam behind screen. Alan Freeman: This is John Barry’s hit, not Adam Faith’s – audience boos.
I Don’t Regret A Thing – Chris Martin (HMV)
Teenage panel replaced by South African DJ Barry O’Donoghue.
Worst-ever ‘Juke Box Jury’ panellist, Patricia Bredin last Saturday – NME’s Alley Cat, 29 January 1960. Shack’s only appearance, a leading juke box operator.
Catherine (Katie) Boyle was a TV announcer and presenter who famously hosted early editions of the Eurovision Song Contest; Patricia Bredin an actress; Alan Freeman a DJ (assuming this was not Alan Freeman the Decca Records executive); Cyril Shant, who with Gordon Marks, had founded the Phonographic Equipment Company in 1958. It specialized in Juke Boxes!
Around this time competing with ITV documentary, The Sea War.

Seems difficult for Russell Turner to select suitable Juke Box Jury foursome; on Saturday Frank Weir was ineffectual, Shirley Eaton seemed busy posing, while Bunny Lewis’ remarks appeared prepared. NME’s Alley Cat, 5 February 1960
Shirley Eaton was a popular actress; Susan Franks a TV presenter; Bunny Lewis a record producer; Frank Weir a musician/musical director.

Russell Turner is responsible for the choice of records and discusses them with David Jacobs. David Jacobs: “Sometimes we include discs we know are bad just to see the reaction of the panel. It’s a thing I wouldn’t dare do in my Saturday night, Light Programme series, Pick Of The Pops.”
On 10 February, EMI issued their last 10-inch 78 rpm single. It was ‘Royal Event’ backed by ‘Rule Britannia’, which was used as the theme for Daniel Farson’s Guide To The British.
