Musical Stamps

The Royal Mail has produced a collection of 'classic' album cover stamps.













The 10 album covers to make the stamps:

• Led Zeppelin IV - Led Zeppelin
• Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars - David Bowie
• Parklife - Blur
• The Division Bell - Pink Floyd
• Screamadelica - Primal Scream
• Power Corruption & Lies - New Order
• A Rush of Blood To The Head - Coldplay
• London Calling - The Clash
• Tubular Bells - Mike Oldfield
• Let It Bleed - The Rolling Stones

Definitely not my choices and it's already been said that Dark Side Of The Moon is a more iconic album cover than The Division Bell. Coldplay is a controversial choice but it is the band's best album and most interesting cover which isn't saying much. The album is hardly a 'classic'. And is this about artwork or music. Many classic albums have very boring covers. The New Order album is good but the cover isn't. Likewise Led Zeppelin.
