Album Art as UK Postage Stamps
Another reason we’ll never be as cool as the Brits: The UK’s Royal Mail just unveiled a series of 10 new stamps that honors the most iconic album covers of the past 40 years. And get this, the Queen herself actually approved the final design for each.
So which albums made the cut? The Rolling Stones’ Let It Bleed, Led Zeppelin’s IV, David Bowie’s The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars, Mike Oldfield’s Tubular Bells, The Clash’sLondon Calling, New Order’s Power, Corruption and Lies, Primal Scream’s Screamadelica, Pink Floyd’sThe Division Bell, Blur’s Parklife, and Coldplay’s A Rush of Blood to the Head.
