Are you ready to go All In with Toto?  The band has just announced a limited edition 17-LP/13-CD/1-BD box set due on October 12 from Legacy Recordings.  This one-of-a-kind collection, exclusively available through the band’s website now through April 10 only (for fall delivery), will offer a complete portrait of the band’s Columbia Records years, plus some previously unreleased extras.  All In features the following albums on seventeen LPs and thirteen CDs:

1. Toto (1978)
2. Hydra (1979)
3. Turn Back (1981)
4. IV (1982)
5. Isolation (1984)
6. Fahrenheit (1986)
7. The Seventh One (1988)
8. Kingdom Of Desire (2-LP set) (1993)
9. Tambu (2-LP set) (1996)
10. Mindfields (2-LP set) (1999)
11. Toto XX (2-LP set of outtakes, demos, and live tracks) (1998)
12. Live In Tokyo EP (previously unreleased recordings from the band’s 1980 tour) (2018)
13. Old Is New (2018)

The previously unreleased Old Is New LP features ten tracks.  Of the ten, seven are never-before-heard, along with “Spanish Sea,” “Alone” and “Struck By Lighting” which are all featured on the band’s recent greatest hits collection 40 Trips Around The Sun.  All of the music in the box set was remastered by the band along with acclaimed engineer Elliot Scheiner.

The box set also boasts a bonus Blu-ray, with the Live in Paris 1990 concert and a 5.1 surround mix of Toto IV, the band’s 1982 breakthrough album including both “Rosanna” and “Africa.”  In addition, the box contains an 80-page hardcover book with new essays, previously unseen photographs, and an 8×8″ certificate of authenticity hand-signed by the band members.

For those wishing to hear the new remasters on CD rather than vinyl, a slimmed-down CD-only version of the All In box with just the albums will be made available later this year.  (One hopes that the surround version of Toto IV will likewise be released individually.)

Toto’s 40 Trips Around the Sun tour kicks off tonight in Munich, Germany, wrapping up on April 8 in Glasgow, United Kingdom.  U.S. tour dates for the summer are expected to be announced soon.  In the meantime, pre-orders are being accepted through April 10 directly from the band at the link below!  Note that All In will not be available at retail stores.
