Edsel Records will issue a T. Rex box set collecting their studio albums later this year.
Details are sketchy but The Album Collection will be a 10CD box and there is a good chance this will be packaged similar to the Suede CD box from earlier this year, or the Leo Sayer set from 2013.
Ten CDs suggests the eight studio albums under the T. Rex moniker, and perhaps a couple of bonus discs with rarities (pulled from the various deluxe sets).
Earlier this year Edsel issued a Tanx and Zinc Alloy deluxe book edition and Tanx followed on coloured vinyl for Record Store Day 2014. The Slider also enjoyed a 40th anniversary super deluxe release at the end of 2012.
The Album Collection has a provisional release date of 3 November 2014.
