Roger Taylor / “The Lot” box set

By Paul Sinclair

Roger Taylor will issue a massive 13-disc box set in November that celebrates his 35 years of activity outside of his ‘day job’ in Queen.

The Lot features all Taylor’s solo albums and his material as front man for the group The Cross. Four bonus CDs of solo / The Cross single remixes, edits and B-sides are included, as is an exclusive box set version of his new album Fun On Earth. A DVD of videos completes the set, which comes packaged in a hard case slipcase with a book which holds all the discs.

The Lot is released on 11 November 2013.
