It's not possible to do this with sox; the first thing sox does
is unencode/uncompress the audio to PCM before doing anything
further with the audio, including concatenation.

There might be other tools which can work natively with mp3s
without transocding, but I'm not knowledgeable of them.
Maybe others can help you, here.
