The always absorbing UK magazine Record Collector has an unmissable article in the new edition (issue 432, cover date October 2014), which arrived in UK stores yesterday, September 12th, sporting an eye-catching promo shot of Pink Floyd from 1967.

Highlight of the magazine is a dual purpose, five-page feature on the Floyd. The first part takes a detailed look at some of the more notable global rarities, with updated valuations (the last set of valuations was almost six years ago) by Joe Geesin (yes, son of Ron, most notable for Floyd fans for Atom Heart Mother) with help from our friend, BD contributor Herve Denoyelle. Some incredibly rare examples are listed, where just one or two are known to exist, along with more regular releases which are nevertheless boasting a hefty value these days. Who knows what pricey gem you might have lurking in your own collections, that you are unaware of? The discography of Pink Floyd's global rarities makes for fascinating reading, particularly for those of us who have been collecting various things for many years now.

This is coupled with a look at what is known so far - and what has been rumoured - about the band's upcoming studio album The Endless River, which of course is based on the recordings done around the time of 1994's The Division Bell. The writer takes the little which has been officially revealed, and picks away at comments made on various Facebook pages by those involved to try to understand what we are likely to get when TER eventually is released (and as yet, there is NO official release date, despite the rumours and suggestions of dates such as October 27th and November 10th, both possible candidates based on normal scheduling of albums). The writer also takes a look at those known to be working on the recordings, particularly The Orb's Youth, bringing in the collaboration between them and David Gilmour on 2010's Metallic Spheres.

Elsewhere in the magazine are features on modern female metal, Kate Bush, Foreigner, British Soul, and a fascinating look at the huge variety of punk memorabilia and collectables. The magazine should be appearing now in all good UK stores, and will be available worldwide in selected outlets shortly as an import. It is also available to purchase online here.

As regulars here will know, on Saturday night - which was the occasion of his 71st birthday - Roger Waters presented the film of his Wall tour, as well as undertaking a Q&A afterward. BD contributor Peggy Shanks was amongst the lucky ones present, and kindly presents her report (and pictures) from the evening here...

When the announcement was made that Roger and Sean were going to be premiering their film, "Roger Waters The Wall" at the Toronto International Film Festival, I was shocked. It was a pleasant surprise but I hadn't realized that the film was finished (we've been speculating about a concert film since the fall of 2010). To learn that the premiere was happening just a couple of hours down the road from us, and on a Saturday night, was really exciting. I had never been to TIFF before and it's been about 17 years since Mark had been so we weren't quite sure what to expect.

We got up early on Sunday, August 31 and spent about 2 hours in an online queue, trying to get tickets. Eventually, we had our tickets, 2 seats for the world premiere screening. Honestly, we would have been happy to get tickets for any screening of the film but this was what we'd hoped for; seeing the movie, at the premiere, with Roger and Sean in attendance, on Roger's birthday no less.

Further to our earlier story about the Premiere of Roger Waters The Wall at the Toronto International Film Festival last night, we can now bring you the Q&A courtesy of our friends at T-Mak World, who posted on our Facebook page following their attendance at the event. Be sure to check out their review of the film here.

So, here is Roger, along with his co-director Sean Evans, happily answering a variety of questions at the Q&A:

With a few reminders of the additional significance of the day ("I knew somebody would have to point that out...I'm seventy f***ing one years old!") Roger Waters enjoyed the twin celebration of his birthday, as well as the premiere of his new concert film, Roger Waters The Wall last night at the Toronto International Film Festival, as you'll see from the two video clips we have here.

In a sharp blue suit, matched with a white pair of Converse trainers, Roger, along with his co-director Sean Evans, seemed in fine form as he greeted the fans, having satisfied many of the autograph hunters on arrival.

The following clip shows Roger last night introducing The Wall movie at the event. Our thanks to T-Mak World, who also give a full rundown of the movie here.

Roger pointed out the apt timing for The Wall. "Any armed conflict is an underscore and an exclamation mark to this movie, because this movie is unashamedly anti-war, ecumenical, and about love for all men and women whatever their race, colour, creed, nationality or whatever", said Waters.

"When Roger decided that he wanted to bring it back on the road he said, 'I'm not that guy. I'm happy. I'm not this angry kid any more'," Sean explained. "We took the meat of it and made it more about the world and building walls in society, religion and politics."
