Beatles stamps are to go on sale in London

A new collection of stamps featuring the Beatles set to go on sale in London has already caused a stir with fans around the world. The Royal Mail stamps feature covers from some of the Liverpool four's classic albums.

Such legendary albums as “Help”, “Let it be” and “With the Beatles” are all included.

There has already been massive response to the new set, with orders coming in from around the globe especially from Japan, The United States and Canada.

Pre-order sales smashed the previous record, set a year ago by a collector's edition set dedicated to another British supergroup of the past, Queen.
