The box set would be considered a new RG and the release would be an 
8xCD release within the RG. As you add each disc to the release, make 
sure to use the existing standalone releases as starting points. That 
will ensure continuity of track titles and especially recordings to 
avoid having to merge them later. Let us know if you need help on how to 
do that. Regards,
