Return to Sender by Elvis Presley was a UK number 1 hit on Thursday, December 13, 1962 spending 3 week(s) at the top of the UK charts. The year after this was released, postal "Zones" were replaced by Zip Codes, making the line, "No such number, no such zone" outdated. On January 8 1993, the US postal service released a stamp commemorating Elvis on what would have been The King's 58th birthday. This caused a stir, as stamps were usually reserved for historical figures rather than entertainers, so the postal service let their customers vote on one of 2 designs for the stamp: a young Elvis or an older (and heavier) Elvis. Young Elvis won handily and on January 8, 1993, the stamp was released. Enterprising stamp collectors put Elvis stamps on letters that day and mailed them off with false addresses so they would be sent back marked "Return To Sender" and become collector's items.
