The stamps will go on sale in January 2007 as a tribute to the band.
A Royal Mail spokesman said: "The Beatles special stamps promise to be a big hit with fans the world over when they go on sale."
He continued: "Royal Mail is featuring some 1st Class Beatles album covers to commemorate the UK band that stands for all that's great in popular culture."
