Ranking Roger has announced plans to release a new album titled “Retrospective – Looking Back 2010 -1988" which will feature a variety of songs from his entire solo career. (Read a MOTB post about Roger's 1988 solo album "Radical Departure" here).
The album will be available through Pledge Music, which is an online direct-to-fan/fan-funded music platform similar to Kickstarter. Pledge Music helps musicians like Ranking Roger reach out directly to their fan-base to financially support upcoming recordings or musical projects. In addition to the 14 track album, Roger is also offering a wide range of other items and experiences including t-shirts, lyric sheets, a Skype chat, dinner or a concert in your home!
Roger discussed the limited edition reissue of The Beat's 1981 album "Whappen" on vinyl and his new Pledge Music album on a recent UK radio interview:
