WANTED: Shine! - Shine!
SHINE!
Shine!
2015 Cloudberry Records
Notes :
Retrospective album that includes all of the 21 original songs that
Shine! recorded including their fantastic debut flexi "Millions and
Millions" as well as the songs ("Bite the Apple" & "It Could Never
Happen to Us") that appeared on the split 12" that they shared with The
Bardots in 1989. Aside from these two releases Shine! put out two tape
albums, "Shine!" and "Numbrainedeadumbrain", that are very rare. All of
the songs (aside from two cover versions) are included in this CD. Fast
guitars, and exciting melodies that brings up to mind the earlier
Wedding Present and This Poison!, Shine! should have been huge!

Bocca Juniors - Raise
BOCCA JUNIORS
Raise
1990 Boy's Own Productions
Notes :
Bocca Juniors was a short-lived project formed between the four DJ/producers (Andrew Weatherall, Terry Farley, Pete Heller, and Hugo Nicolson) at the heart of the Boy's Own Recordings
label. They only released two singles: 1990's "Raise (63 Steps To
Heaven)" and 1991's "Substance". Both featured lead vocals from Anna Haigh
and were, in the words of the group, intended to be "balearic anthems".
(The name "Bocca Juniors" is likely derived from the hugely popular and
successful Argentine football team Boca Juniors, and possibly also from
the word "bocca", which means "mouth" in Italian.)
