and no Electric Ladyland?
or Country Life?
as Cupid Stunt would say, "All in the best POSSIBLE taste"
A pedant writes:
Notwithstanding the definition of "classic," is this intended as a collection of covers that graced classic albums or a collection of classic covers that graced albums of rockular music?
And I think I might be able to guess why, but no Beatles?
At risk of sounding like a
stamp collector, it's because they already had a series of album covers released as stamps in 2007.
Fair point
Fraser, thanks for the clarification. I do think the White Album would have been a good addition, though.
...with the value of the stamp in the typeface used for the
serial number
I can't believe they left out...
Henry the Human Fly.
...or
the visual delight that is the eponymous album by Mom's Apple Pie.
Modesty prevents me from providing a larger, more detailed version.
Maybe the disappearance of the physical artefact...
in the download age isn't such a bad thing after all. That is horrible!
Oh, that's nothing...
the rear sleeve has photos of the band.
saw these and thought a few things
Firstly I thought you couldn't have living people on stamps isn't that paul Simonon (?). Also why have the disc hanging out of the edge it ruins the design and much as I love Peter Saville work (and own a large number of them) surely credit for PC&L sleeve should go to Henri Fantin-Latour particulary at 1 cm square range.
Oh and WTF Coldplay.
I thought that was the rule as well
but I remember that Roger Taylor sneaked onto a posthumous Freddie Mercury tribute stamp.
EDIT: Following a quick furtle on the Interweb, here it is:
Very disappointed
No "The Queen is Dead"?. Surely on the stamp, they could have easily put her head in a sling.
