JIMMY PAGE Hails Royal Mail's Rock And Roll Stamp Collection
January 6, 2010According to NME.com, LED ZEPPELIN guitarist Jimmy Page has hailed a new range of Royal Mail stamps featuring classic British album covers.
The set of ten stamps, which enter circulation tomorrow (January 7),features iconic album covers including LED ZEPPELIN's untitled fourth album (1971),PINK FLOYD's "The Division Bell" (1994) and THE CLASH's "London Calling" (1979).
Speaking at the launch of the stamps at London's Rough Trade West, Page revealed the irony behind LED ZEPPELIN's iconic "IV" album cover.
"Almost 40 years after the album came out, nobody knows the old man who featured on the cover, nor the artist who painted him," he said. "That sort of sums up what we wanted to achieve with the album cover, which has remained both anonymous and enigmatic at the same time."
Here is the full list of albums that will be featured on the stamps:
* THE ROLLING STONES' "Let It Bleed" (1969)
* LED ZEPPELIN's untitled fourth album (1971)
* DAVID BOWIE's "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars" (1972)
* MIKE OLDFIELD's "Tubular Bells" (1973)
* THE CLASH's "London Calling" (1979)
* NEW ORDER's "Power, Corruption and Lies" (1983)
* PRIMAL SCREAM's "Screamdelica" (1991)
* PINK FLOYD's "The Division Bell" (1994)
* BLUR's "Parklife" (1994)
