  • Trax Records readies 16-disc box set image
  • Traxbox, a mammoth 16-disc retrospective of Trax Records, is now available. The collection contains Trax catalog numbers TX101 to TX179—the seminal Chicago house and acid label's first 75 releases, put out from 1985 through 1989. (They didn't use four of the catalog numbers in that range.) The first eight discs contain the A-sides, and the second eight are all the B-sides. In addition to remastered versions of the highly influential originals (when the original tapes weren't available, the tracks were ripped from the collection of house music collector and historian Johnathan Woodliffe), the set contains extensive liner notes from DJ History founder Bill Brewster, photos, flyer scans and other archival material.
