VA - Shine... The Complete Indie Series: A 30th Anniversary Collection 1995-2025 (Super Deluxe Edition) (20CD Box Set) (2025)
Shine was a various artists compilation album series released by PolyGram TV in Britain from 1995 to 1998, centring on indie rock, largely from new British bands (several American bands, like Green Day and Dinosaur Jr. appeared sparingly).
The series began in 1995 to capitalize on the Britpop scene. In total, there were ten Shine albums, plus a 'Best of '97' compilation and a final 'Best of Shine' in 1998. The series ended in the late 1990s as the Britpop era passed.
Shine volumes 1-4 were issued as single CDs, but as the series became increasingly more popular, PolyGram TV released volumes 5-10, plus the best of's as 2CD sets.
Shine 1 was originally released on Thursday, April 27, 1995.
The albums featured in this box set include:
Shine - 20 Brilliant Indie Hits (1995)
Shine Too - 20 New Brilliant Indie Hits (1995)
Shine 3 - 20 New Dazzling Indie Hits (1995)
Shine 4 (1996)
Shine 5 (2CD) (1996)
Shine 6 (2CD) (1996)
Shine 7 (2CD) (1996)
Shine 8 (2CD) (1997)
Shine 9 (2CD) (1997)
Shine - Best of 97 (2CD) (1997)
Shine 10 (2CD) (1998)
Shine - The Best of (2CD) (1998)
This entire set is ripped from my own personal CD collection. I have never seen this complete series posted anywhere on the net, so this presentation is a true first for collectors and music fans everywhere.
Enjoy!

Music weaves itself into the fabric of our emotions, dances through the corridors of memory, and whispers to the soul of who we are. Sharing these stories deepens the connection, turning the experience into something timeless and profound.

Hi B... Your 4 DL's are all there but jumbled around.
ReplyDeleteDon't think you meant that ... take a look, you'll see.
Hi K... Thank you greatly for this unique collection!
Hi mrRadio,
DeleteThe links are now fixed.
Someone spun me around 10 times and then got me to drink a shot of Schnapps and then got me to enter the links. We all do silly things sometimes....
Cheers.
Well that was silly... you should've had the drink first for maximum effect!
DeleteOr next time, remember to unwind the opposite way first... before linking.
Thanks K & BB - a great overview of 90's Brit Rock.
ReplyDeleteGreat for my rides to discover and rediscover some truly great music. Another BB tsunami launch.
ReplyDeleteThanks
Hi D.
DeleteThis was a K SPECIAL launch. K is to be commended.
I’ve never seen this complete collection posted anywhere before.
Glad you like it though.
Cheers
Now that's what I call THE Easter present! Thank you very much!
ReplyDeleteGoodness me, I'm back in my 20s again. Time travel, as brought to you by K and BB. Eternal gratitude to you both.
ReplyDeleteK You are sending me down a rabbit hole!
ReplyDeleteHi BB
Wow, quite the line-up and track lists...
ReplyDeleteit does seem odd to me to refer to bands like Oasis, Placebo or The Cranberries as "indie"...though I suppose technically that is correct...
Oasis were signed to Creation, so quite indie, Placebo and The Cranberries were on majors though. "Alternative" would've been more correct of course
DeleteI question the decision to go from one to two CDs for Vol. 5 onward. I look forward to plowing through this, but damn.
ReplyDelete@Bud_e_luv_bomb: I already explained this in the write up.
DeleteShine volumes 1-4 were issued as single CDs, but as the series became increasingly more popular, PolyGram TV released volumes 5-10, plus the best of's as 2CD sets.
K
Wow. Life is too short. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteA lovely round up of toptastic tunes.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this impressive collection. Good memories connected to a lot of these songs for me.
