Photography: Bob Thomas), and New Order’s Power, Corruption and Lies (designed by Peter Saville)…”
(more info and images of other 8 stamps via Creative Review, credit info for stamps above: “The sleeve of London Calling by The Clash (1979) features a photograph of bassist Paul Simonon smashing his bass on stage - as shot by Pennie Smith. Designer Ray Lowry’s design is apparently a homage to Elvis Presley’s debut album layout. Above right: Mike Oldfield’s Tubular Bells (1973) sleeve is by Trevor Key” )
