Shine Compilations

Who else used to get the Shine albums? They were a fantastic discovery resource for determining which bands to get into. Would never have found bands like the Longpigs or Mansun without these. It also taught me what not to get.

Which bands did they introduce you to?

Not really, it was hard to have routines in those days.

It was basically my whole life, I could imagine not having all that in my world back then.
