Timeless love songs. Romantic lyrics. The mood is set. The Postal Service delivers the perfect Valentine’s Day playlist with the Love Notes CD, debuting this week at #4 on the Billboard/Soundscan jazz charts. “The Postal Service is very excited by the response this new CD has already received,” said Linda Kingsley, vice president, Channel Access. “People don’t usually think about going to the Post Office to buy Valentine’s Day gifts, but our customers can purchase the CD for a great price and ship it at an even better price from the same, convenient location.” The Postal Service once again worked with Concord Music Group to bring timeless music to non- traditional retail locations. This is the fourth exclusive release between the Postal Service and Concord. The previously released CDs include: Letters to Santa in December 2009, Ella Fitzgerald’s Love Letters from Ella in February 2010, and Let It Snow in December 2010. The Love Notes CD features images from the 2010 Love Stamp, Pansies in a Basket, and it comes prepackaged for easy shipping in a mailing box that is decorated with the same images. The Love Notes CD is available at select major metropolitan post offices and also can be purchased online at usps.com/shop for $12.99.
