Manufactured in the US, the first of its kind now comes to the UK, to be made available for the public to play in the band’s hometown of Liverpool. The new machine will be located in The Beatles Story’s Fab4 Cafe based on the Royal Albert Dock and will cost just £1 to play.
The Beatles pinball machine will immerse players in 1960’s Beatlemania and feature nine timeless hit songs from that era: 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 -Taxman.
Fans will also be able to purchase their own limited-edition machine from the attraction’s Fab4 Store, priced at £11,995 including VAT, delivery charges and setup charges.
This game has been designed with a classic look and feel to it, following a similar pattern used in games before they had ramps, toys and other fancy things. Thanks to Sean M. for pointing out that this is a re-skin & update of Stern’s 1980 release Seawitch. It features four flippers, a playfield spining disc with a magnet, eleven drop targets, the full color LCD screen and a classic bell sound for a vertical spinner. Check it out.

Recently the Beatles Company has released new teaser for the upcoming White Album Expanded.
“Acoustic Version — Take 2” and 3″ of While My Guitar Gently Weeps with only Harrison on guitar and McCartney on harmonium taken from upcoming White Album box set.
White Album expansive deluxe reissue will be out November 9th Capitol/UMe, it boasts a generous helping of previously unreleased material, including 27 (!) early acoustic demos and 50 session takes.
Ahead of its official release, one of those acoustic compositions has been unearthed. The track is a stripped-back rendition of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”, originally recorded on July 25th, 1968.
The track was recorded before Harrison brought in Eric Clapton to play the lead guitar part and legitimize the song to his bandmates
“While My Guitar Gently Weeps” (Acoustic Version, Take 2) was recorded on July 25th, 1968, with just George on guitar and Paul on harmonium. It’s a dark and meditative draft of a still-evolving song, as Paul follows along, learning the chords. George tells the Abbey Road crew, “Maybe you’d have to give him his own mike.”guitar
