Roger Waters Reissues Coming in the U.K.

March 18, 2011 By Mike Duquette Leave a Comment

Roger Waters is bringing Pink Floyd's The Wall Live tour to Europe this spring, and to celebrate, Sony is reissuing a good amount of his work at an affordable price.

On March 28, the compilation Flickering Flame: The Solo Years Volume I (2002) will be repressed. This set collected the best of Waters' solo material from 1983 to what was then the present, with two unreleased demos added to the mix. Unfortunately, this disc has a rather unsavory legacy, as it was released with a rather extreme form of copy protection that prohibited it from playing on a PC or Mac (it was listed as such on the front sleeve). No online retailers' listings indicate if that condition has been removed for this new pressing - most seem to replicate the details of the original listing - but we can certainly hope otherwise!

Then, on April 4, Roger Waters: The Album Collection will be released. The eight-disc set will consist of The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking (1984), Radio K.A.O.S. (1987), Amused to Death (1992), In the Flesh - Live (2000) (presented as the two-CD/one-DVD version) and the two-disc, operatic Ça Ira (2005). While no new material will be provided, nor has there been any indication of new mastering, this pretty affordable set is the way to go if you've been thinking of diving headfirst into Waters' work.

The rundown of the track listings and pre-order links are below.

    Personally, I'd like Wall live DVD/CD from the current tour. I bought Pros and Cons and KAOS on amazon uk a couple of years ago and I think they were remasters. I know that Pros had the unaltered art.

    Of course it's to much to ask for a new album, I finally gave up in 2006.

    I'm a big fan. Maybe I'll end up buying it but:
    1. I'd love to have the related B-sides (especially for Radio KAOS)
    2. or extended versions (for Pros & Cons) on the CDs.
    3. Also, this is only the english version of "Ça ira", a french version also exists. Why isn't it there too?
    4. Not sure anyway if "Ça ira" has its place here. After all where is the Music from the Body?
    5. Too bad also that there is nothing from the Dark Side of the Moon tour: the Magny-Cours show (the one that initiated the world tour) was brilliant, and it would be so good to have a DVD of it!

    So my wish would have been:
    - The three solo albums,
    - An extra CD with B-sides, extended versions, the demos from Flickering Flames and anything you can think of...
    - A CD/DVD of In the Flesh - Live
    - A CD/DVD of The Wall - Live in Berlin
    - A CD/DVD of The Dark Side of the Moon - Live in Magny-Cours

    It could have taken the form of a studio box, a live box and even a classical box (with both Ça ira)...
