\u201cStamp! Stamp! Stamp! It\u2019s what I\u2019ve done on stage all my life, sometimes in the air,\u201d The Who’s\u00a0Pete Townshend<\/strong> shares. \u201cAt last my stamping, and that of my buddy Roger, has been\u00a0honored\u00a0properly, and will help letters, parcels and birthday cards travel through time and space, just as we have.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Roger Daltrey<\/strong> adds, \u201cThe artwork on the album sleeves was almost as important to the success of the record as the music. It\u2019s great to be reminded of them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The stamps are available starting Oct. 17 but can be preordered at <\/span>royalmail.com<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
