I'd agree.  I think it has to be entered as a box set if that's how it's
sold.  If the discs are sold individually, they'd also get separate
releases.  But I'm not sure how to relate a box of four complete albums to
their original releases -- maybe annotations for now?  Is the "later issue
of" AR still valid?
