    Fans of stamps and the Beatles will no doubt fondly remember the set issued in 2007 to celebrate the music of, and mania surrounding, the ‘Fab Four’. This latest set has a slightly different feel despite the common theme. This time the album artwork is presented without the previous peculiar perforations and focuses on Paul McCartney’s post-Beatles work as a solo musician. The stamps slot neatly into the ‘Music Giants’ library, with a format already seen in sets for David Bowie and Elton John.

    So we’re reminded of eight McCartney albums – including oddly the only featured LP from McCartney’s band Wings rather than a simple solo effort.
