Shine On

Also cited9 November 1992

Shine On is a nine-CD box set from Pink Floyd, put together to mark the band's 25th anniversary as a recording and touring act. It came out in November 1992 on EMI in the UK, with Columbia handling the US release. Every disc was digitally remastered for the occasion.

It arrived between A Momentary Lapse of Reason (1987) and The Division Bell (1994), so it works as a pause for reflection in the middle of the band's later years. For anyone wanting to hear Pink Floyd's story laid out in one set, from The Piper at the Gates of Dawn through to The Final Cut and beyond, it is a handsome way in, and a good excuse to hear familiar records cleaned up.
