If you are into collecting stamps or Pink Floyd memorabilia then you are probably aware that the Royal Mail in England have produced a set of stamps that you can legally use to send mail with classic rock album covers on.  The Division Bell by Pink Floyd/David Gilmour is one such album to feature in the collection.

In addition to Royal Mails stamps that you can buy, there are also two officially licenced collectors sets for you to get your hands on. More info on the page below.
