High

This article has been rated as High-importance on the project's importance scale.

This article was a past project collaboration.

Fair use

Add fair use rationale to all images and sound samples (all except images already labeled free use).
Re-size large images around to 300 pixels (all "fair use" images), other than album covers (already done).

Untitled

Since one site gave a list of more than 12 albums by the name "Shine On" and since this is actually a box set for Pink Floyd, using my normal convention of "Shine On (1992 album)" just did not seem right and switching to "Shine On (box set)" didn't seem great either.

Adding The Final Cut to the list of albums excluded from the boxed set. Happypc (talk) 19:15, 26 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pleased to own this treasure

I cautiously laid down the $150.00 for this boxed set, "back in the day." The second track of Animals got scratched, breaking my heart. I play them now only to make recordings, resting safely in the box. Once I get my hands on a glass case, I'll display the rainbow prism again. The book is fascinating, with interviews and backstories. The artful wayward inflated pig story at Battersea Power Station alone is worth the read.

Production values

"each CD housed in a solid black jewel case with a small sticker of the album cover affixed to the front"

Solid? WTF??

Because I was a fan at the time, I'm sad to say I did buy this sorry effort. I can assure you: my jewel cases were not 'solid'. It was cheap plastic, showed every scratch, and had a crappily printed rainbow beam on the spines. Some of the stickers of the "album covers" were not even affixed straight.

This pile of crap was purchased by me in the UK from a Virgin record store: so it wasn't a foreign fake (presumably), but it certainly was the most shoddily produced collectors "boxed set" I've ever seen.

The book was nice, though.

I gave the CD set to a charity shop years ago - and good riddance to it.

BTW - the sound of the 'remastered' albums was almost indistinguishable from the originals (on CD). Original Momentary Lapse was already ADD - FFS.
