This is a colourful advertising poster for the famous Wurlizter Jukebox. The image shows the Wurlizter upgraded to CDs in the 80s with the style of the 1950s.
Wurlitzer's jukebox operations were sold and moved to Germany in 1973, and was sold again in 1985, so this poster is early 1980s. Ideal for a bar or restaurant looking for a 1950s feel of the rock and roll era, or for those lucky enough with one at home.
Strapline is, "Back to the Future", so perhaps a 1985 link there to the movie. "CD one more time".
Printed by Wurlizter, Deutsche Wurlizter GmBH, Stemwede, Germany.
Dimensions: 33 in x 23.5 in (84 cm x 60 cm)
Condition: Small edge tears, some white marks, see photos.

The Wurlitzer was the iconic jukebox of the Big Band era, to the extent that Wurlitzer came in some places to be a generic name for any jukebox. Wurlitzer's success was due to a first rate marketing department , the reliable Simplex record changer, and the designs of engineer Paul Fuller who created many cabinet styles in the "light-up" design idiom.
Fuller's designs are so emblematic of jukeboxes in general that 1940s era Wurlitzers are often used to invoke the Rock n' Roll period in films and television.
Deutsche Wurlitzer continued and served the European markets and partly also the USA by own distributors.

Because of the age of these posters, there are areas of wear and tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, and edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years are part of the charm. Note there are a couple of tears, but will press up well against glass.

When framed these colourful and detailed posters can become a centre piece for any room, to remind us of a simpler time.

These posters are sent as unframed. They will be rolled up and delivered in a cardboard tube for protection.
