Tanzania Rock and Roll Legends Set

Tanzania · 1993 · 100 Shillings

This set of nine stamps from Tanzania celebrates legendary figures of American and British rock and roll. Each stamp features a colorful portrait of an iconic musician, including Elvis Presley, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Buddy Holly, Bill Haley, John Lennon, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Little Richard.
