Flickering Flame: The Solo Years Volume I is a compilation album of former Pink Floyd member Roger Waters' solo material, released in 2002 (see 2002 in music). It had never been released in the US and UK, until 30 May 2011, when this album along with the rest of the Waters' solo material was released as part of "The Roger Waters Collection" Boxset. The album will be sold separately from the compilation, for a 12-month term.

Contents

The original versions of this album were released on CD with a note on the cover saying "will not play on a PC/Mac", due to a form of copy protection. Users of Apple computers reported they were unable to eject CDs with this kind of copy protection.
