Underground, Overground
Is this what we went through the Sixties for? It's difficult to decide whether the sleeve of Atom Heart Mother being adorned with the Queen's head and stuck on a stamp is a win or a lose.

The Floyd once appeared to be the epitome of the counterculture. Have they now been fully subsumed by the establishment? Or have they simply made a mockery of it?
On balance, maybe we should just smile and move on.
A set of Sex Pistols stamps next? With Johnny Rotten alongside the Queen's head...
