NEWS 01.2000: HAPPY NEW YEAR. Added Outside The Wall as the monthly track. Dead links reports are welcome as I don't have time to check them these days !

PLEASE READ THIS

This site contains some very rare Roger Waters songs. As many of these songs have been released for sale (even if it seems some can't be bought anymore), I have intentionnally put MP3s that have very low quality (as a result, it's very fast to download!). This site is just here to help you to discover those rare tracks; if you like them then (try to) buy them! Please do not mail to ask me to put here or send or trade you high quality MP3s. Anyway, I don't have enough disk space !
If the companies or artists want me to remove some tracks or the whole site, mail me, I will.

HOT STUFF

New version of Lost Boys Calling

Sony Music allows you to download for a limited time the (high quality :) new version of Lost Boys Calling. Seems it's been used for the US release of the soundtrack of the new Guiseppe Tornatore's movie, The Legend Of 1900 (new title). The version of Lost Boys Calling is close to the old one, the guitar solos have been re-recorded (and a little bit changed), as well as Roger's voice. Happy download !

    Walden Woods Benefit Concert, Los Angeles, 1st Apr.1992:

    Each Small Candle (high quality)
    Each Small Candle Thanks to all the people that made it available. This file contains just the song. Roger took 4 minutes to explain it, but I had to edit it because of disk space limitations. Check the links section to get Rogers' explanations (the file then is about 9Mb big).
    This is the only performace of this song that should be part of Roger's next album. 28 August 1999, Kansas City    		 5.10min, 4953k, 128kbps, stereo
