TOPIC: The Division Bell cover to be featured on a Royal Mail stamp

The Division Bell cover to be featured on a Royal Mail stamp 2 years, 7 months ago #1

I saw this on the Fleeting Glimpse forum:

"Pink Floyd Management have been in touch to tell us that Pink Floyd will receive the accolade of being featured on a UK Royal Mail postage stamp on 7th January 2010. After the success of Royal Mail’s recent British Design Classics stamps, they have created a series featuring only classic UK album cover designs. Available from Thursday 7th January 2010, it includes the 1994 UK Number One album The Division Bell, which went on to sell more than 10 million copies around the world. Designed by Storm Thorgerson with Keith Breeden, the cover depicts two massive heads, created by Sculptor John Robertson, placed in the East Anglian landscape, which in turn suggest a ‘third face’, echoing the album’s themes of contradictory communication. The self-adhesive stamps are printed in two separate sheets of 25* There is also a souvenir sheet (223 x 188 mm) including stamps with water-activated gum’.* (The sheet containing ‘The Division Bell’ also has album covers by Coldplay, Blur, New Order and The Rolling Stones)."

Thats interesting, Nick. 

I wonder why they didn't go for the DSOtM cover - far more iconic I would say, or even WYWH

The report that I read about these special edition stamps ten days ago mention that the cover had to be sufficiently detailed to be successfully miniaturised.
    I look forward to seeing the Divion Bell cover and The Rolling Stones. Let it Bleed stamps.
