We have had loads of emails from people across the world who have been experiencing problems downloading the two new Roger Waters songs from the "official download partner" sites. It seems that the sites in question are only allowing US residents the chance to download the new songs, and non-US residents are denied access to them.

Naturally, not an ideal state of affairs, and so we raised our concerns with Mark Fenwick, Roger's manager. All our non-US visitors will be delighted to know that Mark contacted us today with the news that the songs will be available very soon outside the USA.

The exact date is not known, but the download sites are expected to be the international versions of the US sites, including iTunes, Napster and Musicmatch. In the meantime, you can listen to streamed versions on Roger's website - RogerWaters.com - at no cost.
