Royal Mail makes album artwork stamps, no female artist featured

The Royal Mail has taken on music for their next batch of stamps set to debut in January. But, one things missing that no one reported on. From the 10 album covers selected, no a single one of them is buy a female artist. Surely all of the artists are from the UK and feature some great monumental albums such as The Clash’s London Calling and Blur’s Parklife (click below for full list), but not a single female artist? Not even Kate Bush’s The Red Shoes or something from Annie Lennox (not even the Eurythmics). Amy Winehouse’s Back To Black deserves a nod. It’s really just sad that all the Q-heads keep deciding what is credible and what is not with their music snobbery and knack for sexism.

i like the choices though. i was so happy to discover that kuwait has ACTUAL stamps, rather than ink stamped onto mail. maybe we should push to design kuwait’s stamps. i wonder who takes care of stuff like that in this country…
