On Monday June 20th (moved from May 30th and June 6th), to coincide with the European leg of The Wall Live tour, comes the release in the UK and Europe of "Roger Waters - The Album Collection" (with the rest of the world getting it on or around June 7th). A limited edition 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. There is no new music included, but for those who are lacking Roger's solo work, it is priced very reasonably so a great opportunity for those who want to bolster their collection.

You can pre-order the set now through Amazon UK (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 (currently the cheapest non-Amazon retailer for this, with £10 off the recommended price).

Also re-released 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 order this from the retailers above.

Coinciding with this, www.RogerWaters.com has had a dramatic overhaul - still providing the same information, but easier to find things like videos, news, and more.

Finally, don't forget to tune in to Roger's appearance on BBC Radio 4's "Desert Island Discs", which takes place on Sunday (May 29th) at 11:15am. More info on that, and how to listen internationally, here.
