FIND BHUTAN PLAYABLE RECORD STAMPS AND POSTAL COLLECTIBLES FOR SALE

Bhutan released a notable series of postage stamps in 1973 — round, playable records. Not just gimmicks (though they certainly were that), these stamps were actually used postally, and both used and unused examples of these phonograph record stamps from Bhutan are beloved, if infamous, in the stamp collecting world today.

What was on the Bhutanese phonograph record stamps

The seven different records featured a variety of recordings related to Bhutan. The postal values of the stamps ranged from 10 chetrum to 9 ngultrum (1 ngultrum = 100 chetrum).
