Stamp collectors and music nerds share a lot of common traits, but rarely do their worlds collide. Until now. The UK is using cover art from 10 classic albums in a new series of postage stamps due to appear in 2010. The list includes Pink FloydThe Division Bell; Coldplay A Rush of Blood to the Head;BlurParklife; New Order's Power, Corruption & Lies;The Rolling StonesLet It Bleed; David Bowie The Rise and Fall Of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars; Primal Scream Screamadelica; Led Zeppelin IV; Mike Oldfield Tubular Bells; and The ClashLondon Calling. To see them all, go here.
