Ah, okay. Again, though, they want to choose a ”highlight” of the Beatles’ career, and they go for YS? Or maybe it’s because it’s instantly recognizable. It’s quite nice.

Hmmm… hadn’t thought of that, as I’ve always thought of US stamps as commemorating historical figures in general. The official site states that “U.S. postage stamps and stationery primarily will feature American or American-related subjects. Other subjects can be considered if the subject had significant impact on American history or culture.” It doesn’t specify that the subject has to be born in the US. I guess his having spent his last years here was enough. parlance
There was a Yellow Submarine postage stamp in 1999 I think. So it’s not the first US Beatle stamp. I wonder if there are any others.
semi-related British Beatles stamps (It is interesting what people have made out of these & are selling on ebay.)
related – I think the YS stamp is the only other US postage stamp that is Beatles-related. I can’t find any others. If someone finds another, please let us know.

It was chosen to coincide with the renovation of the film, I think. The stamp was displayed on Yellow Submarine Day in Liverpool.
Edit–it just happened to coincide. It was chosen by citizens as part of the Celebrate the Century program.

There’s also one’s for Louis Armstrong, Ray Charles, and probably others.

The Elvis one was a huge deal. They even put the design to a vote – whether to chose young Elvis (the winner, as you can see) or older Vegas Elvis.

It won’t be coming back, parlance. There was a slight rollback needed earlier due to changes Joe was making, and some posts were lost. The New York Times article you posted was a good one on the auction of Lennon manuscripts, more in depth than WogBlog’s.

Ah, ok, I’ll repost what I’d quoted:
More than 100 John Lennon manuscripts, including short stories, poems and line drawings, most of them produced for the two books Lennon published during his lifetime, “In His Own Write” (1964) and “A Spaniard in the Works” (1965), will be auctioned at Sotheby’s in New York on June 4.
*snip*
The collection will be on display at the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Tex., March 13 and 14; at Sotheby’s in London, March 21 to 25; and at Sotheby’s in New York starting on May 28.

Offline Sir Paul Mccartney In Trademark Battle
Here’s the whole article
Sir Paul Mccartney is embroiled in a battle to stop a company trademarking his nickname ‘MACca’ for a cosmetics range.
The Beatles legend’s legal team has filed an objection to a trademark application filed in London to use the name for a line of cosmetics, perfumes, hair products and soaps.
The applicant now has two months to defend the filing with the Trademark Registry in the British capital, according to U.K. newspaper the Daily Mail.

I was okay up until this point:
My own feeling is that Lennon has heavy talent and that McCartney really hasn’t. He’s melodic, pleasant, inventive but he’s too much syrup.
Hard to take the rest of the article seriously after that.

Offline Yes, true…Cohn is known to be kind of a dink when it comes to certain opinions. He is the one, after all, who told Pete Townshend that Tommy was a “s**t” album upon hearing the rough mixes, so Pete went and wrote Pinball Wizard (knowing Cohn was a pinball fanatic), after which Cohn declared it a masterpiece.

Offline Wogblog reports on the latest news of upcoming remasters
According to a 2014 Concord Priorities presentation, the two Wings albums “Venus And Mars ” (1975) and “Red Rose Speedway ” (1973) are due for the McCartney Archive treatment in June.
According to the card included with the Wings Over America relese, “Wings At The Speed Of Sound ” was the album due to accompany “Vesus And Mars”. Maybe they got their “speeds” mixed up?
Also notes that “”Off The Ground ” saw a “digitally remastered reissue” on January 21st on Hear Music, without any fanfares.”.
