ITEM DESCRIPTION

GENUINE Thin Lizzy Pair FDC First Day Covers 50th Anniversary Stamps Phil Lynott

Special limited edition stamp set launched to mark fifty years of legendary Irish rock band Thin Lizzy. Featuring two first day covers, the first is presented in a new mint condition miniature sheet with two Ireland national rate stamps. This second features two stamps mounted on a specially designed envelope with an exclusive cancellation mark on the stamps. An absolute must for any Thin Lizzy fan.

Designed by Steve Averill, the stamps are based on the iconic artwork of Jim Fitzpatrick and cover standard postage within the island of Ireland. The first stamp features an image of the album cover artwork from Thin Lizzy's 1979 album Black Rose, described as “the most iconic of all Thin Lizzy’s album covers”. The second stamp features a portrait of the late Lizzy frontman Philip Lynott by renowned Irish artist Jim Fitzpatick. This portrait originally appeared on the back of the ‘Black Rose’ album and was a particular favourite of Philip’s.

Thin Lizzy garnered a loyal worldwide fan base, attracted to their distinct twin guitar sound, explosive drums and legendary frontman, Philip Lynott. One of the greatest bands to come out of Ireland, Thin Lizzy remain giants of Irish rock, decades after they first came together in 1969.
