Here are the detailed insights:

  1. Contents of the Box Set:
    • CDs Included: It comprises nine CDs, including eight albums and a unique bonus CD.
    • Albums Featured: The eight albums are “A Saucerful of Secrets,” “Meddle,” “The Dark Side of the Moon,” “Wish You Were Here,” “Animals,” “The Wall” (a double album), “A Momentary Lapse of Reason,” and the bonus CD, “The Early Singles.”
    • Bonus CD: The “The Early Singles” CD is a compilation of the band’s first five 7″ single A- and B-sides in their original mono mixes, making it a unique addition to the box set.
  2. Packaging and Additional Materials:
    • Unique Packaging: Each CD is presented in a solid black jewel case with a small sticker of the album cover on the front. Arranged in order, the CD cases display the iconic prism image from “The Dark Side of the Moon.”
    • Hardcover Book: Included is a 112-page hardcover book that chronicles Pink Floyd’s career from its inception to the late 1980s.
    • Postcards: An envelope containing postcards with artwork from the included albums and the cover of the box set itself is part of this collectible set.
  3. Exclusions and Reasoning:
    • Excluded Albums: Notably absent are the soundtrack albums “More” and “Obscured by Clouds,” as well as “Ummagumma,” “Atom Heart Mother,” and “The Final Cut.” “The Piper at the Gates of Dawn” was also omitted, as a special edition release of this album was planned at that time.
    • Concept Behind the Title: David Gilmour explained that the title “Shine On” was meant to signify a continuation of the band’s progress, not retirement. An initial title considered was “The Big Bong Theory,” as mentioned by drummer Nick Mason.
  4. Release and Distribution:
    • The box set was released through EMI Records in the United Kingdom and Columbia Records in the United States.
    • Some initial copies featured a black hype sticker and a track-by-track listing sticker on the shrink-wrap.

The “Shine On” box set is not just a collection of Pink Floyd’s music; it is a carefully curated piece of music history with its unique packaging and inclusive materials, making it a must-have for enthusiasts and collectors.
