The Beatles

On January 9, 2007, the Royal Mail of UK commemorated the cultural contribution to the music industry by The Beatles, with a set of 6 stamps showing album covers and a miniature sheet of 4 other stamps showing Beatles memorabilia.

The stamps and miniature sheet were designed by Johnson Banks using photography by Kevin Summers, and are printed by Walsall Security Printers. The normal sheet stamps are a maximum of 35 x 33mm and are self-adhesive in gravure. Each value is printed in sheets of 30 stamps, 2 of each design. Also available are double-pane sheets of 60. The stamps would be regarded as se-tenant, except that they are not attached one to another!

The Beatles were an English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960. They became the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed act in the rock music era. The group's best-known lineup consisted of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr.

Such a shame I got only 2 out of the six stamps! And I dont even remember how I got them. If you still extras of the other 4 stamps please dont hesitate to tell me. I would be very glad to have them. 

If you have wonderful stamps, covers, and FDCs you wanted to share on this blog just let us know through our Facebook page so we can have a look.

Happy Stamping!
