The following information was taken off mailings on Echoes, the
Pink Floyd mail server.

1. There are 9 CD's
2. 7 Albums + one rarities disk
   all of the albums were remastered except for A Momentary
   Lapse of Reason
3. The Albums Include...
   a. The Piper at the Gates of Dawn
   b. Meddle
   c. Dark Side of the Moon
   d. Wish you Were Here
   e. The Wall (2 disks)
   f. A Momentary Lapse of Reason
   g. Animals (I think... not too sure)
4. The Rarities disk includes...
   a. Arnold Layne
   b. Candy and a Current Bun
   c. See Emily Play
   d. Scarecrow
   e. Apples and Oranges
   f. Paintbox
   g. Julia Dream
   h. Point Me at the Sky
   i. Careful With That Axe, Eugene
5. Apparently Kurt Loder has spent much too much time spreading
   rumors about Madonna and Paula Abdul.  As you can tell, the
   above list contains plenty of Syd Barrett songs (from the ones
   on Piper to Arnold Layne, Candy, etc. on the Rarities disk.
   MTV wouldn't know Syd Barrett if they stepped on him (which is
   what MTV normally does to people).
6. facts...
   performer:   Pink Floyd
   title:       Shine On
   catalogue:   Columbia CXK 53180
   book:        112, 4 colour, hardback
                written by a guy from Hipgnosis whose name
                escapes me at this moment
   release:     November 24, 1992
   price:       original was $150
                the best seen around the country, so far, is
                $108.54; that may change as the release date
                approaches
   where:       the most bodacious price, quoted above, is from
                Noteworthy Music
                (800) 648-7972
                (603) 883-1914  info only, order at 800 number
7. The actually CD's do come in black jewel boxes with new art-
   work on the actual plastic (a sticker I beleive).  However,
   the CDs can be taken out of the jewel boxes, placed in the
   provided slipcase, and insert a protective postcard that has
   the original artwork on it.
8. If you align the 8 jewel boxes (not the rarities disk one),
   you will see a famous prism/rainbow come to life!  This is if
   you place them in chronological order!
9. The box itself has a picture with three naked people.  Two
   are men, one is female.  They are emerging from the water of
   an ocean.  It contains other visual effects and symbolism
   that you can only grasp if you see it.

I am 99.44% sure that everything on here is correct (except where
noted).  Remember, not all of this is my information, it was
taken from Echoes, the Pink Floyd mail server.  It is a compilation
of several posts from several different articles; you can just
call me the editor.
