Shine On - Pink Floyd - Song Listings (1880 words)
This box set devoted to Pink Floyd was somewhat frustrating at the time of its release.
The essential problem is that Pink Floyd, like most prog rock and psychedelic acts of its era, left behind precious few outtakes that would be viable as bonus features for a box such as this.
The book Shine On includes lots of illustrations and even a time line depicting the history around the band's releases, and while it all could have been a little better organized and a bit more ambitious, this is a handy small-scale coffee table book.
