#PINBOX GAMEINCANADA SERIAL NUMBER#
The Early Production game pictured here has serial number 1088 and has green star rollover inserts on its playfield. More information is needed to understand the reason for these playfield differences. The production run of this game was over 16,000 units, and these “orange version” playfields may have simply resulted from spot shortages during the production run of playfield parts having the correct colors. Two of the three also have a white drop target Special insert, instead of the expected red-colored one. Pictured in this listing are three different examples of this “orange version” playfield. This version is seldom seen, which indicates the quantity made was small. Bally made an unknown quantity of playfields for this game having orange star rollover inserts instead of the usual green ones. It is easy to believe that the party extended over both days. A biography of Keith Moon records the date of this party as March 18, 1975. He had agreed with artist Christensen to represent the date of this event in the backglass art as the score 31775.

Nieman attended the 1975 New York premier party for the movie “Tommy” held in the 57th Street subway station. Nieman is depicted in the backglass as the man in the three-piece suit, and he says that’Brutus’ is artist Paul Faris. The X-rated version is often referred to as the “no stars” version even though all of the backglasses in the production run did contain a certain number of peripheral decorative stars anyway.
Nieman explained to us that he and Christensen wanted the correction to be as minimal as possible because they knew they had “a monster hit” on their hands. Specifically, small mirrored stars were added over the objectionable parts and, curiously, these stars did not effectively obscure the offending art in all instances. A small number of games with these so-called “X-rated” or “uncensored” backglasses made it through production before changes were required to be made. Artist Dave Christensen included in the backglass several depictions of people doing things that, at first, escaped notice by Bally management. Elton then asked Nieman to send a game to his various residences and one to his “mum” in the UK. That is why he is shown wearing a Canadian hockey jersey. Tom Nieman, VP of Marketing for Bally Pinball, tells us the flyer was made while Elton was recording a new album in Canada. Included in the song lyrics are the words “From the end of the world to your town” which appear at the very top center of the backglass. The game name, however, is the title of Elton John’s 1975 autobiographical song and album where “Captain Fantastic” was Elton and “The Brown Dirt Cowboy” was his then-lyricist Bernie Taupin. Fantastic’ was inspired by the movie’Tommy’ and includes a representation of Elton John, as his character from the movie, playing pinball on the backglass.
