Published on November 1st, the new issue (number 193, dated December 2009, click thumbnail to the left) of the UK's Mojo Magazine covers Pink Floyd's The Wall with an exclusive interview with Roger Waters who talks about the construction, deconstruction and the Broadway rebuild! Additionally, Mark Blake takes a detailed look back at the 1980 shows with comments from the principles and loads of great photos.
Also, in this issue Roger hints about... taking the original 1980 The Wall arena show back on the road (with or without David Gilmour), more film footage of the original shows has been uncovered and is being edited right now, and the Broadway Wall show is in its fourth draft.
All in all, 16 pages of pretty impressive stuff, plus this month's cover mounted CD continues The Wall theme - "The Wall Re-Built disc one" offers 13 tracks from the album covered by a variety of artists including Sweet Billy Pilgrim, Woodpigeon and The Gentle Good amongst others - all the artists making very different versions of the tracks, some pretty weird but all very good, a different perspective. The second half follows with next month's issue, which will also feature an article about the movie with Alan Parker.
