It’s official. The lunatics are on the grass and the counter culture is dead.

Pink Floyd, the band whose music was once synonymous with the underground movement, social revolution and mind-expanding drugs, will appear on a set of UK postage stamps later this year (6 LP sleeves and 4 live images).

The stamps look great, but I can’t help feeling a little sad about the whole concept somehow.

The Division Bell sleeve has already appeared on a postage stamp in 2010 of course.
