From January, 2010 the British will be able to lick the back of album covers by Pink Floyd, Bowie and Blur when the Royal Mail pays tribute to great British albums on a series of stamps.

The full list of albums included are as follows:
The Division Bell - Pink Floyd;
A Rush of Blood to the Head - Coldplay;
Parklife - Blur;
Power Corruption and Lies - New Order;
Let It Bleed - The Rolling Stones
London Calling - The Clash;
Tubular Bells - Mike Oldfield;
IV - Led Zeppelin;
Screamadelica - Primal Scream;
The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars - David Bowie

The series is the first of special editions coming from the Post Office in 2010.

The Post Office surveyed customers to determine the best covers to use and obviously some were a little out there to get away with.

A short list was put together and from the short list came the 10 albums above.

The stamps will be available from January 7, 2010.
