Recorded in August 2009 at Wild At Heart in Kreuzberg, Berlin, "Shine Not Burn" utilizes acousitc instrumentation to add an intimate aspect that has not been heard on any previous Real McKenzies releases. Exploiting the incredible talents of the band's roster (including former members of the legendary bands Descendents, Good Riddance and DOA), while adding a second set of bagpipes to the mix, the music on "Shine Not Burn" is the perfect complement to Paul's trademark banter and passionate singing. For the listener, it brings to life the experience of a Real McKenzies show without actually being there.
Nagrana w sierpniu 2009 na berlińskim Kreuzbergu koncertowa płyta Real McKenzies. Mało tego, że koncertowa to jeszcze akustyczna. Ale mimo braku fuzzów na gitarach zabawa jest przednia, są wszystkie hity, często w zupełnie zaskakujących wersjach, zapowiedzi są bezcenne etc.
