Legacy Recordings is honoring Leonard Cohen’s 77th birthday with the mother of all box sets entitled The Complete Albums Collection.
The release will contain all of Cohen’s 17 albums, including live material and studio recordings. Throw in a 36-page booklet and an essay written by Pico Iyer, who’s contributed liner notes to four of Cohen’s albums, and who needs Christmas this year?
The whole bundle will be out October 11—both as a 17-disc set and as an 11-disc one that includes only Cohen’s studio releases.
And here’s the list of albums included:
