This is the stamp collection rock fans have been waiting for, Royal Mail (the British post office) will be issuing a ten piece Classic Album Covers stamp set, featuring the artwork of ten iconic rock album covers, in January 2010.
For decades the album sleeve has been the canvas for some of the most imaginative graphic artists in the world. This stamp issue salutes this unique art form and celebrates some of the greatest examples, used by UK artists. This band of designers and photographers have not only reflected the visual styles of many musical cultures, but have also defined and created them, too. The stamp issue explores some of the most potent graphic images of modern times, many of which have provided a visual soundtrack to people’s lives.
No covers from the Beatles though, not even Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band?
