Announced late yesterday (to a very vocal reaction) was the Super Deluxe Edition of Roger Waters The Wall, which we know a number of you have been holding back on ordering the regular editions, to see what this special edition consists of, and costs, to see if this set would be your preferred purchase.

Without further ado, here are the details of the contents, which are housed in a custom package with hand-applied graphics, and is a limited edition:

• 4 discs of 180 gram audiophile vinyl in red, white, clear and black, with a unique engraving
• Only available in this package, the brand new score by Roger Waters, and the full live soundtrack
• 170 page full colour hard cover book showcasing live and behind the scenes images from the 2010-2013 tour and the film
• 2 CDs containing the full live soundtrack
• 3 Blu-ray discs containing the full feature length film and bonus features: The Simple Facts - A Conversation with Nick Mason and Roger Waters / A new documentary about the making of the tour / Buenos Aires Time Lapse / Athens Time Lapse / A Visit to Frank Thompson / Facebook Films (36 mini episodes) / Comfortably Numb Live at The O2 with special appearance by David Gilmour / Outside The Wall Live at The O2 with special appearance by David Gilmour and Nick Mason
• Download code for digital versions of all music included in the package

Once ordered, customers will receive a hard cover "Save the Date" folio that contains two art prints, which will be shipped in November. The boxes themselves will ship in "early 2016", and they note that the artwork is subject to change. To answer a few similar questions we've had, the box set will ONLY be available from RogerWaters.com/SDE.

Since the announcement, Facebook (in particular, Roger's own Facebook page) has been full of fans' reactions to the set - as has our inbox, which has had a pummelling on the subject. The box set has been fixed at a price of $500 plus shipping and tax (and for many, the package will be subject to import duty and handling fees from their local postal delivery agents) which for some will increase the overall amount by around $200 or so.

We are hoping that some of the exclusive elements within the set (the tour documentary, the Q&A between Nick and Roger, and the book) get a separate release in time, and will suggest this to Roger's team for consideration; in the meantime, we suspect that many people will now push ahead with their pre-orders for the already announced standard editions. Orders for these can be placed through these direct links:
