The latest instalment in Royal Mail’s

Music Giants Special Stamps series

pays tribute to David Bowie. Released

on 14 March six stamps feature iconic

album covers and an additional four

show Bowie playing live.

Based on a template created by

Studio Dempsey for Royal Mail’s 2010

Classic Album Art Stamps the stamps

were designed in-house by Royal Mail.

“We wanted to convey the musical and

cultural genius of Bowie” says Dean

Price design manager at Royal Mail.

“They’re die cut and feature the arc

of the vinyl record emerging from the

sleeve. Blackstar required the most work

but turned out really well in the end.”
