A8 With The Beatles.

The Post Office issued 6 stamps with Beatles` album covers

1st class - Sgt Pepper; With The Beatles; 64p - Help!; Abbey Road; 72p - Revolver; Let It Be

As this is probably one of the toughest WRQ questions so far, I`ll award half star to any answer

which gives album on 64p or 72p stamp
