I explain in the post below about the odd decisions Sony has made in its releases of Blue Oyster Cult albums in the "Original Album Classics" series. Similarly, odd things have happened for releases by the band Journey. I reviewed the first "Original Album Classics" 3CD box by the band here. That box covered the albums "Departure", "Escape" and "Frontiers". My suspicion is that this release is now going out of print. Instead Sony has released a 5CD box featuring the albums "Infinity", "Evolution", "Escape", "Frontiers" and "Raised On Radio". Also released is another 3CD box (also called "Original Album Classics"!) featuring earlier jazzier albums "Journey", "Look Into The Future" and "Next". These pre-date Steve Perry joining the band as lead vocalist. I'm very tempted to buy the latter release as these early albums are really great and have been very hard to find in the past. At a bargain price, typically less than a full price CD, this set strikes me as being unmissable.
Earlier release - if you want it get it now in case it goes out of print!
