For months, fans have been hanging on every word Roger Waters announces in relation to his latest concert film, Roger Waters: The Wall and its super-deluxe box set edition paired with the album's soundtrack. The Pink Floyd alumni recently revealed the latest details of the set- the housing of each box set can be structured into their own graffiti wall, boasting a mural by Brazilian graffiti team, Osgemos.
The graffiti artists previously teamed up with the 72-year-old bassist when they offered art in Waters' show, contributing specifically to the flying pigs back in 2007. The box set wall will be crafted in Los Angeles, where Osgemos, who lent their artistic talents to Waters in 2007 and again for two gigs in 2012, will paint the mural, available for photographers to capture the finished product.
From there, the boxes will be undid, ready to ship to prospective buyers who will each own a piece of the mural.
The set, which is valued at a whipping $500, includes CDs, Blu-rays, vinyl, a book and art prints adorned with Waters' autograph. The three Blu-ray discs contain surprises of their own, incorporating the version of The Wall slated for release on Dec. 1, along with an exclusive documentary detailing the making of the tour, Rolling Stone notes.
The album's soundtrack will be available to fans in the form of four clear, black, white and red 180-gram LPs, each with their own distinctive engraving, a fresh score by the singer songwriter and links to download the music digitally. The hard-cover, 170-page book will give fans insight and behind the scenes looks at the joint movie and tour. Placing a bunch of focus on art, the Waters' official website will take part in holiday gifts for the year, shipping folios with two art prints in time for the holidays while the main boxes will arrive in the early stages of 2016, as UltimateClassicRock notes.
The singer left Pink Floyd with no intentions of reconvening with Nick Mason and David Gilmour although they collaborated on one last studio album, The Endless River. Most recently, Waters teamed up with Billy Corgan and Tom Morello to perform the iconic psychedelic rock group's classic hit "Comfortably Numb."
