I've found many copies of the album on record with the unedited cover. It pisses me off so badly that the cover was censored in the first place. I'm still looking for an unedited cover version on CD for my personal collection.
the place i go to has madd cheap albums, but the problem is theyre in no order. you gotta spend hrs in that place to find the good shit. i'm going there next thursday, i'll look around or just order it.

I'm excited for you to listen to this album....Like all floyd, you really have to give it several listens because there is so much meat to that album.
Overall, I love how the album makes me feel. I just feel like any man can relate.... The relationships, the journey, the interaction with society, and self reflection. \m/
I now have all their albums wake, I ordered a few viny'ls i got piper, obscured, more, and ummagumma. I'm just waiting for the last 2 to come in the mail!

lol... dude it is an Opera. that was done like a decade after his last rock stuff.
I never claimed you should listen to all of waters albums. In fact I pretty much down right hate "Amused to Death". It is not nearly as bad as Momentary lapse of reason, but it isnt something I listen to often.
I really like (strong like) Radio Kaos for personal reasons, but Pro's and Con's of Hitchhiking is often times my all time favorite album. (I say often times because it changes all the time).
Roger Waters Makes His Triumphant Return to North America in 2012 with His Extraordinary Aural and Visual Masterpiece: "The Wall"
Roger Waters, the co-founder and principal songwriter of the archetypal progressive band Pink Floyd, has announced the return of the historic production of "The Wall" to North America in 2012, including a stop in Philadelphia on Saturday, July 14 at 8 p.m. at Citizens Bank Park. His aural and visual masterpiece of alienation and transformation will be performed in-its-entirety featuring a full band and state-of-the-art production. "The Wall" live has played more than 120 shows around the world for more than 1.6 million fans making it one of the most successful tours of 2010 and 2011. Tickets for "The Wall" 2012 at Citizens Bank Park go on sale Monday, November 7 at 10 a.m. at LiveNation.com, ComcastTix.com, or by calling ComcastTix at (800) 298-4200.
The 2012 tour will begin on May 1st in Houston, Texas at the Toyota Center making a 36 show trek throughout North America, including several outdoor stadium performances with state-of-the-art modifications, transforming the arena production into magnificent outdoor events. The tour, promoted by Live Nation, includes stadium stops in San Francisco at AT&T Park on May 11, Vancouver at BC Place on May 26, Chicago's Wrigley Field on June 8th, Toronto at Rogers Centre on June 23 and Philadelphia at Citizens Bank Park on July 14.
"Thirty years ago when I wrote 'The Wall,' I was a frightened young man," Waters recalls. "In the intervening years it occurred to me that maybe the story of my fear and loss with its concomitant inevitable residue of ridicule, shame and punishment, provides an allegory for broader concerns: Nationalism, racism, sexism, religion, whatever! All these issues and 'isms are driven by the same fears that drove my young life."
Waters' first reinvented his iconic stage production of "The Wall" in 2010 utilizing modern day technological advances and special effects which have been embraced by audiences around the globe with countless sold out performances and multiple-night stands including a record-breaking 9 sold out shows at the River Plate Stadium in Buenos Aires, Argentina. "The Wall" remains one of the most influential albums in the history of recorded music with a profound effect on pop culture, resonating with multiple generations of music fans.
Prior to 2010, "The Wall" show was simply too large to contemplate a tour, but new arenas and advances in touring technology have solved that dilemma. Waters has updated the look and feel of the show to ensure it matches the astonishing theatrical extravaganza that The Wall's live incarnation became so legendary for - thus allowing yet another generation to be inspired by the grandeur of the breathtaking visual and aural spectacle. The 1980 original production of the "The Wall" had been performed live-in-its-entirety just 29 times during Pink Floyd's 1980 tour in support of the album and once in Berlin in celebration of the fall of the Berlin wall.
The Associated Press described opening night in 2010 with, "Roger Waters tore down the house Wednesday night in Toronto...He walked out to thunderous applause beginning with the first track of the seminal concept album, 'In the Flesh', and the adulation never stopped." While during the New York stop, the New York Post declared, "When Roger Waters finished building "The Wall" in its entirety, at Madison Square Garden, it was just another brick on what was the best arena concert I've ever been to. Period."
In addition to Roger Waters (lead vocals, bass), "The Wall" live touring ensemble includes: Snowy White (Guitar), Dave Kilminster (Guitar), GE Smith (Guitar & Bass), Jon Carin (Keyboards), Harry Waters (Hammond Organ), Graham Broad (Drums), Robbie Wyckoff (Vocals), Jon Joyce, Pat Lennon, Mark Lennon and Kipp Lennon (Backing Vocals).
