The U.K is generally pretty cool and they just had to prove it once again with the upcoming release of the British Album Cover Stamps -- and not a single one of them features [The Beatles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eton-1)!

These are truly innovative, as they feature radical artists from the past and present. The British Album Cover Stamps include Blur’s 'Parklife,' [Coldplay](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moon-music)’s 'A Rush of Blood to the Head,' Zeppelin 'IV' and the [Rolling Stones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rolling-stones-bitmoji-show-lens)’ 'Let It Bleed.'
