Rick James Japanese Mini-LP CD Box Set On The Way?

Been seeing a few of these empty promo boxes from Japan on eBay lately. It features the Streets Songs artwork and the sellers are claiming it holds 8 cd's. I thought this was odd as Rick's Motown period spanned 9 albums from Come Get It! to The Flag. Can't find anything about a release date online; anyone got the intel?

If you're referring to this: http://www.ebay.de/itm/Ri...1959015477

...I'm almost certain it's actually this (Japanese Disk Union site): http://diskunion.net/blac...C130117101

In other words, it was released in 2013 to coincide with Disk Union's reissue of Street Sounds. It should have 10 cds (not 8) of various artists (not just Rick) in replica jackets, as follows:

RICK JAMES - Street Sounds
RICK JAMES - Throwin' Down

COMMODORES - In The Pocket

TEMPTATIONS - Reunion

MARY JANE GIRLS - Mary Jane Girls
FINIS HENDERSON - Finis

DAZZ BAND - Keep It Live

DEBARGE - All This Love
JERMAINE JACKSON - Let's Get Serious
TEENA MARIE - It Must Be Magic

Sorry to disappoint.

The only album I haven't heard in Rick's catalogue. Still waiting for those Flag and Glow reissues!
