For GenXers like myself who were teenagers in the 1980s, Iron Maiden were definitely one of the major heavy metal bands of the era and part of the musical background spawned by MTV, and personally I think the stamps capture the aggressive spirit that characterizes heavy metal quite well - it's anarchic and in your face shocking in the way the music was. Following the Heavy Metal forums and twitter tags reveals lots of interest in these stamps from non collectors many of whom are now talking about being ex-collectors from their younger days. They couldn't even tell me what the following issue was (in case I decided to keep going another issue if it was something decent).

It's not like they didn't know about the issue and pricing many months ago, given the monarch on the stamps. With over 100 million record sales, almost 2,500 live performances across 64 countries and 17 studio albums – including their latest, Senjutsu, released in 2021 – Iron Maiden have remained fearlessly creative and dedicated to their legions of fans for almost half a century.Also disappointing is that despite not having yet even received an Advice Note - or even the 2023 schedule they still say they are going to charge me for them. Web this page contains the major holiday dates from the 2023 and 2024 school calendar for marion independent school. Given how much hype Iron Maiden is receiving, my guess is that there will be more "Icons of British Popular Music" coming over the next several years.
