- Context
- Released on November 24, 1992, 'Shine On' is a comprehensive box set that captures Pink Floyd's extensive catalog from their formation in 1965 until the early '90s. At this point, the band was navigating the complexities of their legacy following the departure of Roger Waters and the release of their post-Waters albums like 'A Momentary Lapse of Reason' in 1987. This compilation served both as a retrospective and an acknowledgment of their enduring influence on rock music.
