Roger Waters is to be the cover star of the upcoming issue of Classic Rock Presents Prog magazine that features an in-depth interview with Roger in which he talks about taking The Wall back on the road, David Gilmour's offer to perform Comfortably Numb at one of his shows as well as pondering what the future might hold in store for him.

Also in the issue is an exclusive interview with David Gilmour and The Orb plus mention of the new Syd Barrett compilation - a real Floyd fest!

And if that's not enough there will be a free CD featuring tracks from Hawkwind, Touchstone, Eden and others. The new issue goes on sale in the UK on August 25th, and is available in selected locations worldwide as an import, or via MyFavouriteMagazines.co.uk for international mail order of this issue.

UPDATE, August 22nd: Certain retailers in the UK already have this issue on their shelves, and as you can see from the outer cover [click thumbnail] it is eye-catching and hard to miss! Taking the magazine out of the card envelope, you get a different front cover to the magazine itself - a nice portrait of Roger, on a black background.

Inside the magazine, there's a four page interview with Alex Paterson of The Orb, talking at length about how he got David Gilmour involved in the upcoming album we told you about on August 17th. Elsewhere, the interview with Roger Waters covers six well illustrated pages, is a fascinating look at his views on The Wall, and the upcoming concerts. Excitingly, he notes that "I'm definitely going to put The Wall [original concert] out [on DVD] at some point". He also squirms at the length of time since his last solo album was released, noting he has "so many songs written, I keep meaning to get round to organise it..."
