The Beatles have announced a new limited-edition “Beatlemania” pinball machine in partnership with Stern Pinball Inc. and Ka-Pow Pinball.
The new machines have been manufactured in three different editions—Diamond, Platinum, and Gold—with only 100 Diamond Edition units and 250 Platinum Edition units produced. While the Diamond and Platinum machines are already sold out, the Gold Edition units are available now via The Beatles’ online store—for the meager price of $10,000.
Notes the product description of the Gold Edition machine on The Beatles Store website, “Only 1964 units will be produced in recognition of the year in which the world forever changed when Ed Sullivan introduced America to four young mop-topped musicians from Liverpool, England.”
The machine pays specific tribute to the “Beatlemania” era—the early days when the band went from pop hitmakers to international cultural sensations as they made their way across the pond to the U.S. The “Beatlemania” pinball machine will feature nine Beatles songs from that fateful era including “A Hard Day’s Night”, “Can’t Buy Me Love”, “Ticket To Ride”, “All My Loving”, “Help”, “Drive My Car”, “It Won’t Be Long”, “I Should Have Known Better”, and “Taxman”.
As the product description continues, “The game also features iconic introductions by Ed Sullivan along with custom speech and callouts by Hall of Fame disk jockey, Cousin Brucie.”
The announcement of the new pinball machines dedicated to The Beatles comes on the heels of a similar band-oriented machine announced by Stern Pinball and Primus last month.
