Roger Waters Box Set Contents

The contents are all of Roger's studio albums as well as live albums and DVD.

The recordings included are Pros & Cons, Radio KAOS, Amused To Death, In The Flesh Live (2CD & 1DVD) and Ca Ira (2CD).

If you haven't got half of those, then you should definitely treat yourself! Go on, you know you want to!

Your Thoughts?

Many of you will have thoughts and opinions on the new box set here. There is no new material to be found on any of the discs but, as mentioned, this purchase is a bargain if you only own one or two of Roger's ablbums. If you haven't heard Amused to Death then you are certainly missing out! Share your opinion on the NPF forum on the

And no Flickering Flame? I reckon it is a compilation but it has some nice stuff not found anywhere else (Knockin' on heaven's door, Each small candle, and a couple more)
Anyway, I have all his CDs, so no box for me -for now. I wonder if it will be among The Wall Tour merch (if he ever comes to Argentina)

[Keith Jordan]

I think Flickering Flame was released on another label. I could be wrong though.

[Naughtrish]

In my FF CD it says Sony Music (in the front cover) and Columbia Records

[mastaflatch]

it's a shame he didn't bother to make a "rarities" dics. some of his songs from Music From the Body, demos of unreleased songs, When the Wind Blows second half and some rare live cuts would have been nice to hear.
this is yet another missed opportunity from the Floyd camp.

[Hudini]

He could have also included the missing songs from "Radio KAOS" in this issue. The only thing I don't own on CD here is "Ca Ira", which I don't really find worth getting the whole box set for.

[J Ed]

by including the live album and the opera it looks as if he's been more prolific than he actually has over the last 28 years

but the set is missing: Music From the Body, When the Wind Blows and the Berlin Wall
and as everybody else has said there could have been a nice rarities disc - the few stray songs that appeared on Flickering Flame, Leaving Beirut and whatever the shorter song was that was its virtual flipside, er, some more film soundtracks, and of course the KAOS singles
that would have been (almost) a ceedee's worth

now that rumoured vinyl Amused to Death, that I'm excited about

[Felix Atagong]

And completists will want to know that there are actually two different versions of Ca Ira - the French and the English. But of course two versions of Ca Ira would be a kind of overkill in the box.

Most of my thoughts were already posted above me. So I'll just say: I agree with you.

[mastaflatch]

i'm wondering though, does this appeal to the collectors?

[nosaj]

Well, I think Live in Berlin is being re-released as a cd / dvd combo this year (the dvd portion, as far as I know, actually includes the uncut television broadcast version as a bonus).

I have all the albums, but my Ca Ira is the one with the dvd.

I probably won't buy this, but the little mini-album replicas would be cool - take up less space on the shelf.

Yeah, too bad about the missing items.

[Hudini]

I probably won't buy this, but the little mini-album replicas would be cool - take up less space on the shelf.

I hate those. They get torn up very easily, and you never know which album is which because there's no space on the sleeve spine to print the album name. Unfortunately, this kind of packaging is slowly becoming a standard, since it's much cheaper than a regular plastic case.

[drafsack]

It also doesn't contain the odd tracks he's released

[Kojima-naked]

no vinyl edition, which would be lovely considering a vinyl copy of amused to death will easily set you back >$100 us. I know Im in the minority here being as most people my age barely know what a record is. but to make a point, gilmours on an island got a very nice release, so did the live album, even the syd barret best of is getting one.

Im just saying I have this large stack of cash im trying to give to roger and hes making it very difficult.

[grelch]

Not for me. Amused is the only one of merit. The rest range from ok to no thanks.
