The Jukebox Gallery Comes to Dubai

DUBAI - The iconic names of “Wurlitzer” and “Sound Leisure” are well-known throughout the world by audiophiles as the gold standard in jukeboxes and sophisticated home entertainment. For the very first time in the Middle East, the Jukebox Gallery is offering these legendary brands to discerning clientele.

Much more than just an awesome sound system, these works of art can be found in the homes of celebrities like David and Posh Beckham, Madonna, Liam Gallagher, the Sultan of Brunei and Chris Rea. Even the lead character in the smash hit movie Iron Man, Tony Stark, prominently features one of these jukeboxes in his home.

Paul Taylor, speaking at the launch of The Jukebox Gallery, located in Virgin Megastore at Mall of the Emirates, explains the concept “To know why our jukeboxes are a must-have for celebrities like Madonna, you have to feel, touch, hear and see them. They’re awesome and everybody loves them.”

Currently on display at Virgin Megastore is the “Manhattan” by Sound Leisure (UK). This lovingly handcrafted collectible from the ‘Golden Age’ of jukeboxes has an indestructible dome top, chrome castings, bubble tubes, 80 CD changing mechanism, remote control, subtle coloured lighting and options for L.E.D. lighting, and even an Apple iDocking Station. With traditional craftsmanship of a bygone era and 21st century technology, it is easy to understand how these jukeboxes find their way in to the homes of the rich and famous.

These jukeboxes are high-end luxury products. Launching a new specialty product to a new market is risky; especially in the current economic climate. Nevertheless, The Jukebox Gallery’s Gael MacLeod-MacLean is optimistic:

“Introducing something new is always a challenge and the challenges just get bigger when you enter a virgin -excuse the pun- territory. You have to work with the right people and in the right location. For our jukeboxes Virgin Megastore at Mall of the Emirates is the location. But, what sold it for me was the guys at Virgin. They know music and they love it!”

As for the current economic climate, Gael believes their jukeboxes will find their place in homes across the Middle East. “I don’t know anybody that this recession isn’t hurting. But owning a jukebox was never about the money. It’s all about how it makes you feel. Everybody loves our jukeboxes and that’s great place to start.”

The Jukebox Gallery is now open at Mall of the Emirates and if you want to know what Liam has in his games room then visit Virgin Megastore today.

It will rock you!

To celebrate the launch The Jukebox Gallery and Virgin Megastore are offering, for a limited period only, 70 CDs FREE to all new jukebox owners.

And, when your awesome jukebox arrives at your home all you need to do is plug & play.
