Back on March 16th, we told you that, to coincide with the European leg of The Wall Live tour, comes the release of "Roger Waters - The Album Collection". A limited edition (available during the tour) 8-disc box set, with a lift-off lid, it is a collection of his studio and live albums housed in mini-LP replica wallets, and sitting alongside a 16-page booklet. Click the thumbnails to the right to see them in more detail.

Originally scheduled to be released on April 4th, Sony have this afternoon confirmed that the set now has a revised release date of May 30th.

The collection (released by Sony Music) consists of Pros & Cons, Radio KAOS, Amused To Death, In The Flesh Live (2CD & 1DVD), and Ca Ira (2CD). So, there is NO new music included, but for those who are lacking Roger's solo work, it is priced very reasonably so a good opportunity for those who want to bolster their collection.

You can pre-order the set now through Amazon UK (who are cheapest at around £12.50 off the recommended price), Amazon France, Amazon Germany, Amazon.com and Amazon.ca. You can also order it from Play.com and HMV.com (who are currently the cheapest non-Amazon retailer for this, with £10 off the recommended price).

Also re-released (on the same date, May 30th) is the compilation album Flickering Flame, which features tracks not found elsewhere, including the title track itself, along with songs such as Each Small Candle, Knocking On Heaven's Door, and Lost Boys Calling. You can get it through Amazon UK, Amazon France, Amazon Germany, Amazon.com and Amazon.ca. You can also get it from HMV.com, Play.com, and other normal retailers.

An interesting interview with Roger Waters features in the April Issue of the Dutch magazine Revolver's Lust For Life (issue 9).

BD regular Nick Spekkels (who kindly supplied the cover scan to the left) tells us that "the interview was one I've read a hundred times already in the last couple of years, because always the same questions are asked, but still always nice to add another one to the collection ;)". He said that the cover text in Dutch quotes Roger as saying "I always want to be in Control".

Other interesting quotes in the article include "If I wanted to do easy entertainment I could have become a quizmaster instead", and "The Wall was actually one big session at a psychiatrist".

Long associated with Roger Waters, and much missed from the current band touring the wall, legendary vocalist PP Arnold has started her UK tour. We are already receiving emails from fans of her work on such things as Roger's Amused To Death who have gone along to the early shows and have been knocked out by the quality of the show. PP has had a long career in music, and has had plenty of success in her own right. You can catch her live in the coming days, weeks and months; read on for the full details of where you can catch her:

A quick reminder for you, that a pink Honda VF500 motorbike formerly owned by Nick Mason is to be auctioned by Bonham's at the International Classic Motorcycle Show in Stafford on Sunday (April 24th, 2011), to raise funds for the appropriately named Think Pink Scotland.

Think Pink Scotland are presently fundraising to build a breast cancer laboratory within the Beatson Translational Research Centre in Glasgow. Current owner Tony Huck kindly donated the motor bike to Think Pink Scotland on hearing about the funds that they generate for breast cancer research. Think Pink Scotland founder Lynn Murray said "We were thrilled to receive the Honda and I am hopeful that Pink Floyd enthusiasts will dig deep for a great cause".
