    Hi,

    The Royal Mail are issuing a set of stamps of a number of classic album covers. There are eight in the set. These albums date from the late 60s to the early 00s.

    They include

    Rolling Stones - Let it bleed
    Led Zepplin - IV
    Blur - Parklife
    Coldplay - A rush of blood to the head
    Clash - London Calling
    Pink Floyd - Division Bell
    David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust & the spiders from mars
    Mike Oldfield - Tubular bells
    New Order - Power, Corruption & Lies
    Primal scream - Screamadelica

    They were chosen for their covers.

    I only have six, with The Division Bell being my favourite and has been for some time even without the stamp fame! My wife bought this for me as soon as it was released - a rartiy in this household.

    I say, good show Royal Mail. I will certainly send more letters now.
