New Vinyl Stamp Under Consideration

As many of you know, Gary Freiberg, founder of Vinyl Record Day (www.VinylRecordDay.org) has asked the US Postal Service to consider using classic album cover art and vinyl records for consideration for a stamp series. I spoke with Gary today and the news is encouraging; although many more details have yet to be ironed out. Here is the reply from the Committee:

Hi Gary,

Actually, the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee had their meeting last week.

I am pleased to inform you that "Vinyl Record" has been placed under consideration by the Committee for possible future stamp issuance. This is very notable, considering we receive approximately 50,000 letters for stamp subjects each year. Also, a limited number of these stamp subjects (generally 25-30) are chosen for each yearly stamp program.

Sincerely,

Stamp Development Specialist
