Iconic Album Art on Stamps

By Queuebot in Advertising, Arts & Crafts, Home & Garden, Pictures, Politics on Nov 9, 2009 at 6:33 pm


The British Royal Mail service commissioned Studio Dempsey to create first class stamps with classic albums covers. The covers include albums from Blur, New Order, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Primal Scream, David Bowie, The Clash, Mike Oldfield, Pink Floyd, and Coldplay -but no Beatles.

The final selection of ten sleeves (which perhaps oddly doesn’t feature one of The Beatles’ album covers) will appear on a set of 10 stamps that will launch on January 7, 2010 – and the stamps will be uniquely shaped, as shown in these images, to accommodate a glimpse of a vinyl disc poking out of each record sleeve.

    Nice idea. But in this age of electronic mail, I would rather see the use radio frequency stamps to track my mail. If it looks pretty thats a bonus. :^P

    I expect the Beatles will get their own collection; possibly to co-incide with an aniversary or whatever.

    Yeah! Where's Queen? (Though Freddie was on a UK stamp years ago I think, wasn't he?) Anyway, these are super cool.

    The Beatles had their turn in 2007 - http://www.norphil.co.uk/2007/01-beatles.htm
