The Royal Mail stamps in this issue celebrate one of the most influential and cultural figures in music history, David Bowie. The stamps themselves follow the same die-cut format as the Classic Album Covers range from 2010.
The retail booklet contains four 1st class definitives and two of the 1st class commemoratives from the stamp issue: Aladdin Sane and Heroes.
This cover's image shows the plaque at Heddon Street which commemorates the location for the iconic Ziggy Stardust album cover. A Heddon Street, London handstamp completes the cover.
