What’s one way to lure people back to snail mail? Try offering them a Beatle.

Britain's Royal Mail on Thursday said it will issue a set of 12 stamps depicting Paul McCartney and his work, paying tribute to (quote) "one of the most iconic and enduring music artists of all time".

Eight of the stamps depicting Sir Paul show images of his album covers, from his 1970 debut "McCartney" solo record to last year's "McCartney III”.

The other four, in a miniature sheet, feature pictures of the 18-time Grammy Award winner recording music.

Royal Mail said it had collaborated with McCartney on the stamps, which go on sale on May 28th and are priced at 16.20 pounds - or $22.54 - for the full set.

McCartney joins David Bowie and Elton John as the only other individual music artists to feature in a dedicated Royal Mail stamp issue.
