Just seen today in UK Guardian newspaper tv *guide* booklet that 10 classic British album covers will be released as stamps by Royal Mail in new year.Let It Bleed will be one of them.
I've not checked it myself but I guess you will get more info if you go to the Guardian's website.
Of course other UK papers may well have carried this story too.

or on the royal mail hp

Thank you for the link to our web site. Music fans and stamp collectors can buy these stamps and postcards first day covers from a new web page: http://www.norphil.co.uk/2010/01a-album_covers_stamps_order_form.html

However, the number of visitors to various websites, blogs and forums around the world that have linked to our site images runs the risk of breaking the US server we use. I'd appreciate it if you could copy and self-host the images here that are hotlinked as that will ensure that the site stays up for our customers! Many thanks.

I like the Clash and Led Zep ones ...
And of course the Let It Bleed stamp.



I am a Frenchie ,as Mick affectionately called them in the Old Grey Whistle Test in 1977 .

BTW,
I just ordered a few sets. Too bad that you have to buy all the covers though. I only needed...

No need to buy them all - you can buy the stamps singly via the link given above.

Joe Strummer is rolling in his grave

They should have brought out a 40p one for The Stones - 40 Licks.

well there are a lot of NON-classic among them. Blur!!!?? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeze

What about Exile, that would make a great stamp

Blur??????! Oy vey

I can't see why the Post Office haven't got round to putting out a whole SET of Stones stamps like they did with the Beatles:

They should do series of acid-laced Performance stamps ... that'd be hard ta lick
