Purgatory Post commemorates Grateful Dead’s Phil Lesh

With the end of 2024 drawing near, New Hampshire-based Purgatory Post recently issued a stamp commemorating musician Phil Lesh (1940–2024), who died October 25 at the age of 84.

The stamp was issued December 12.

Lesh was a founding member the Grateful Dead and bass guitarist for the group from its 1965 inception through its final performance in July 1995.

Purgatory Post’s new stamp has a face value of 11 sola. The stylized lettering including Lesh’s name and years of his birth and death is reminiscent of band posters and album art of the 1960s.
