AC/DC released their debut album, High Voltage, in 1975 and went on to become one of the biggest rock bands in the world. According to a report by Sky News, the Royal Mail has said new commemorative stamps are going to be issued to mark the 50th anniversary of the record.
Royal Mail will issue eight stamps that “capture a sample of the electrifying live performances of the band, along with some of their most iconic album covers, and celebrate their significant contribution to the world of rock music.”
A further four stamps presented in a miniature sheet will feature the covers of High Voltage as well as Highway To Hell, AC/DC’s sixth studio album released in 1979; Back In Black, the best-selling rock album of all time, and Power Up, the band’s return in 2020.
