PINK FLOYD - Division Bell First Class Stamps To Be Released In The UK
March 5, 2010, 14 years ago
After the hugely successful Royal Mail issue of Classic Album Covers in January, Britain’s Royal Mail are to make available, on March 6th, a special gummed sheet containing ten of the First Class PINK FLOYD - Division Bell stamps only.
Similar to the Classic Albums Souvenir Sheet, the ten Division Bell stamps are perforated for easy usage, while the sheet itself is die-cut to resemble a vinyl disc emerging from an album sleeve. The sheet design also includes an icon from the Division Bell album art, plus an extract of Polly Samson and David Gilmour’s lyrics for ‘High Hopes’.
The Stamp Sheet is a limited edition, available tomorrow from the Pink Floyd Store or from www.royalmail.com.
In addition, Royal Mail has announced that, for the first time ever, they will be authorising merchandise featuring a Royal Mail stamp: a Division Bell Stamp t-shirt and tote bag. Available from the Pink Floyd Store and selected Royal Mail outlets, the t-shirt and bag highlight the stamp imagery, while the t-shirt includes a frank mark of Ely, Cambs’(Cambridgeshire), commemorating the place of album photography, plus March 28, 1994 the date of album release.
