Actually it's not "complete", but very much desirable nonetheless: At some point in the future Columbia/Epic/Legacy Records are allegedly releasing a 17 CD boxed set of all studio/live albums of Judas Priest featuring Rob Halford on vocals, right from the 1974 Rocka Rolla through to the very mixed bag that was Nostradamus plus the Touch of Evil live album that followed it a year later. Obviously this won't include Jugulator and Demolition, effectively eschewing the Ripper Owen years under the carpet. I only have a few of their albums on vinyl and CD, so am very likely to pick this up (if it ever actually appears).
*Update* This was released in the US in June, indeed a 17 CD boxed set (missing previously released rare non-album stuff and anything to do with Ripper, so
not "complete", but pretty comprehensive none the less). The albums themselves are contained within cardboard 'LP' replica covers, all housed within a cardboard box. Also, it's listed as 'limited edition', though as with all LEs nowadays, that could mean one hundred or one hundred thousand...
