EMI/Apple Corps Ltd. has announced that four collectible Beatles tins with die-cast miniature cars, a T-shirt and a plaque with artwork from a Beatles single will be released Nov. 9.
Each tin highlights a song from the Beatles' Red and Blue albums, which are both being reissued in remastered form Oct. 19. However, the tins do not include any music.
The four tin titles (and you can see pictures of them in the slideshow) are "Can't Buy Me Love,” "Yesterday," "The Long and Winding Road" and "A Hard Day's Night."
The tins were first seen on QVC recently. Manufacturer's suggested list price is $49.98, but you should find them cheaper online and in walk-in stores.

Que barato!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just what the fans have been clamoring for!!! Are Elvis Presley Enterprises and Gene Simmons now assisting Apple with new merchandising ideas? How long before we see Beatles Bar-B-Q sauce or Beatles knickers?
Hey at least the t-shirts have nifty retro graphics and the use of the foreign pictures sleeves is a nice departure from the same old five Beatles portraits that appear on everything. Not bad, but over-priced unless you can find a steep discount.
Just what we fans need in addition to the Yellow Sub 3D stuff that's coming out.....more worthless clutter that'll collect dust!
Btw....where's the Re-mastered Beatles Vinyl Box Set that was supposed to come out on the 5th? Delayed again? I guess there's already a ton of Beatles product coming out and it's pushed off till next year!
Deluxe Anniversary Editions on DVD/Bluray of either LIB or Shea would have been more appropriate....even if they would have been priced at $49.98!
Will the older first generation Beatles fans(myself included) live to see this happen in our lifetime? Sure hope so! And I hope Paul and Ringo do too!
Got something to say?
